Lock modules to a specified date and time

Last revised January 26th 2022

When a module is set on a specified date/time and published, students can see its name and headings on published material inside the module, but they can not open any of the material. If they click on a heading, a short information text will appear stating that the material is locked and will be opened at the specified date and time.

You can set a date and time when a module should be unlocked for students.
