Some course content can be visible to instructors, but not to students. The best way to verify what students see in the course is the Student Preview button in the upper right of the course. The icon has round arrows.
In the course menu tool links unavailable to students are indicated by struck-across square.
To make the tool links available to students, follow the steps listed below:
- Hover over the tool link and click on the chevron that appears.
- Select Show Link from the drop-list that appears.
The tool link will now be made available to students.
