What does it mean to Conclude a course? How does an instructor control student access?

-
"Concluding" a course means the instructor is declaring the course officially over. Courses can also conclude automatically, if the course's semester (term) has ended.
How does an instructor conclude a course?
In your course, choose Settings, then Conclude this Course

What effect does it have to conclude a course?
After a course is concluded, a Teacher:
  • Can view but Cannot add or publish Announcements
  • Can view but Cannot create or modify Assignments
  • Can view but Cannot modify student grades
  • Can view but Cannot upload or delete files.
  • Can view but Cannot create, publish, or delete pages.
  • Can view but Cannot modify enrollments
  • Can view but Cannot modify course settings
After a course is concluded, a Student:
  • Can view Announcements
  • Can view but cannot upload Assignments
  • Can view grades
  • Can view but Cannot edit pages.
How can I unconclude a course?
A course instructor cannot unconclude a course. This can only be done by an administrator.
I don't see the Conclude button!
This happens if the course belongs to a Term that is already expired. For example, if the course belongs to term Fall 2014, and today's date is June 1, 2015, the Conclude button will not appear.
How do I prevent students from viewing a course entirely?
Unpublish the course.
Can material from a concluded course be copied by an instructor?
Yes. Go to the destination course, settings, and select "Import Content into this Course" on the right.
On the next screen, choose "Copy a Canvas course" and be sure that the checkbox "Include Completed Courses" is CHECKED. This will allow you to find concluded courses and import that content.

"Mobile First" is one of the newest terms in web-based application design. It indicates that a site or web application was written to display gracefully on both small-screened mobile devices and a large-screened desktop. Canvas and Cidi Design Tools are Mobile First. Students will see a pleasant, un-cluttered display no matter what device they use for Canvas. This page is meant to provide some examples to illustrate these applications' Mobile First design.

For Admins: Running a Postman Collection

-
If there are multiple iterations of a single API call, each with different parameters, it makes sense to use a PostMan collection to automate those calls. For example, this course: https://uth.test.instructure.com/courses/26911 We want to undelete ten enrollments from a section in this course. The undelete command is: POST https://uth.test.instructure.com/api/v1/sections/26959/enrollments?enrollment[user_id]=5227&enrollment[enrollment_state]=active But the enrollments we want to undelete (by user id) are: 5227, 10564, 106, 10697, 12375, 12715, 1305, 1307, 1327, 1441 Step 1: Create a data file (csv) that looks like this: userid 5227 10564 106 10697 12375 12715 1305 1307 1327 1441 Step 2: Move the POST command to its own folder in PostMan. It will be the sole API call in that folder/collection Step 3: Modify the POST command to: POST https://uth.test.instructure.com/api/v1/sections/26959/enrollments?enrollment[user_id]={{userid}}&enr
