How do I lock a module?
You can set modules to be locked until a given date by editing module settings. While a module is locked, students can see the module titles and module item names, but they cannot access the module items until after the lock date has passed.
Note: For students to view a module after a lock until date, the module must be published in your course.

In Course Navigation, click the Modules link.
Lock Module

Click the Lock until checkbox.
Set Date

In the Unlock field, enter a date and time that the module should unlock.
Use Calendar

Update Module

Click the Save button.

The unlock date and time will appear next to the bottom of the module.
