Teaching Software: Illinois Compass

Hiding Course Tools from Students

By default, all new Illinois Compass course sites (sites that have not been migrated from a previous semester) will have commonly used tools visible to students with the others hidden from their view.

However, you may want to hide some of the visible course tools from students if you do not plan on using them in your course. Alternatively, you may need to use some of the tools that have been hidden and will want to make them available to students in the course toolbar.

Select the Build tab and under Designer Tools select Manage Course.
