We have a customer who is running self-paced courses (students can start the course at any time), and they'd like to give students 4 months to complete the course from the time they enroll.
Once the 4 months is up, they want to let the student to see the work that they have completed, but the student cannot do additional assessments, assignments or lab work. Essentially, the student has read-only access to the course, but they are still enrolled so they can view any earned certificate or refer to the course content (just not re-submit any answers). I know that custom courses allow you to specify a different due date for assignments, so maybe students could be enrolled in a custom course depending on when they start the course, and the due dates for those students would be fixed, so if they don't submit their assignments by the 4 month due date, they can no longer submit. But this doesn't seem like a practical solution, because it would require creating a custom course for every day in that 4 month period. Another idea was to utilize the cohorts feature to move a student from a "active student" cohort, to an "inactive student" cohort, and the inactive student cohort would not have permissions to change their submitted responses. Although I'm not sure if its possible to specify that a cohort can no longer submit responses. I think all that can be done is to say which cohorts can access which pieces of content. So we could hide the content from a student in the "inactive student" cohort, but that's not the desired behavior - we don't want to hide it, we just want to prevent subsequent submissions after the 4 month period has passed. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, where I might look to find such a solution? It seems as though self-paced courses can't have a student specific end date (timed access to a course), only a universal end date which affects all students, no matter when they start the course. thanks, Nate -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General Open edX discussion" group.
