In previous years we have archived courses at the end of September by disabling them so that they are hidden from users' views. A decision has now been made to keep previous years' courses enabled so that students can access all the courses they have taken for the full term of their degree. However, it has been requested that these courses should be made 'read-only'.
We are upgrading to Blackboard Learn in July so I am intending to test the use of a customised course role for staff but there is no option to create a customised 'student' role. Have any other institutions come up against this problem and were you able to find any solutions for preventing further course activity?
I'd be very grateful for your comments.
Best regards
