Students can't see something in my module - I can see it greyed out

This refers to Moodle 2.6 from September 2014 onwards

It is possible to hide a whole Section or topic from students

• Click on Turn Editing On
• Section visibility is set using the Eye icon where an open eye (as shown below) shows that the section is visible to students. If the eye is closed it can be clicked on to change it to an open eye and therefore visible to students.
• Visibility of items is changed by clicking on Edit and then selecting Show from the option list.
• You may also set an activity to be hidden entirely if you have set access restrictions.

NOTE: You may have to refresh or reload your web page (use the option in your browser) to see the grey disappear.

For a single item

Visibility is set under the Edit menu (see Edit dropdown in screenshot above)

Drop down the Edit menu next to the item and select Hide or Show as required.

When can students see a greyed-out item?

If an item is set to release on a particular date then you can choose, under "Before activity can be accessed"

• "Show activity greyed-out, with restriction information" (default)

All other greyed-out items are invisible to students.

What about assignments?

If an assignment is hidden then students will NOT be able to see the marks either.
