Prevent access to older course materials

I am reusing some of the course materials from last semester's Stellar site. How can I prevent students from accessing the class materials?

Answer

Instructors or administrators (referred to as 'you' in the instructions below) often wish to prevent access to some or all of the course materials on a previous Stellar site. Sometimes they wish to allow only those who took the class to access the course materials, sometimes they don't want anyone to be able to access the course materials, sometimes they want to remove all or some of the course materials and sometimes they prefer to restrict the files to staff only.

Usually, course sites are closed about a month and a half after the end of a semester.

  1. If you wish to allow only those who are listed in the membership list to access the course site, you will need to make sure the access level for the site is set to 'Class Only'. You (or we) can check this by logging in to the class site and clicking on the link to 'control access to this site'. This should default to the Site Access tab and Class Only should be the option chosen. If not, the admin or instructor may change this and click on Submit.

  2. If you do not wish any of the students to access the course site, you may block those students who are listed in the class list (registered students) and remove those students who were manually added.
    1. To block a student, have the admin or instructor log in to the course site and then click on the link for Membership in the navigation bar. Click on the work 'block' next to the students' names you wish to block.
    2. To remove a student who was manually added to the site, please click on Class Home in the navigation bar and click on the link to 'control access to this site'. Click on the tab for Participants and then put a check mark in the check box after the student's name and click Submit.

  3. If you wish to remove or edit any of the course materials on a closed site, please let us know as we will need to re-open the Stellar site for you to make those changes.
