[ARCHIVED] Can I make a specific module closed to specific students?

[elwell]

I'm looking to add a module to my Canvas course that can only be accessed by a certain set of participants. Is there a way to keep a module open to some but closed to others? Thank you for any help with this!

Hi,  @elwell ‌--

Welcome to the Canvas LMS Community‌! I hope this answers your question.

Here are a few ways

1. Use Sections. Section 1  (or whatever naming convention works for you) can see the restricted content, and Section 2  does not. You may need to discuss this with your LMS Administrator, as most 'sections' can be tied to institutional registration. 
2. Use Groups. If students are permitted to self-determine their access to the restricted content then the group could be set to self-enroll.
3. Restrict certain files that are in specific modules. See this Canvas Guide on How do I restrict files and folders to students in Canvas?.
4. Use MasteryPaths. Here are some resources pages from the Canvas Instructor Guides:

      How do I add conditional content to a MasteryPath source item?

      How do I allow a page to be a MasteryPath module item?

      How do I use MasteryPaths in course modules?

      How do I assign a conditional assignment for students to complete in MasteryPaths?

      How do I view the MasteryPaths range breakdown results for an assignment?

Please let me know if this answers your question!

My best,

Jeanna
