These modules are set so that students must complete the previous module before they can view the next. However, if you don’t want learners to see an activity before completing the previous one in the module, simply assign an “available from” date to that assignment to lock learners out until it is ready to be viewed. “The virtual environment provides students the ability to work ahead or the flexibility to catch up on activities and assignments without penalty. Although some students see this as a benefit, others perceive it as an increase in workload and struggle to keep up with course expectations” (Beese, 2014).
