Instructor Orientation: Remove Course Content

Any course content you do not want to use can easily be removed or deleted from your course.

Remove Items from the Modules Page

To delete items from your course, select Modules from the Course Navigation.

Modules

From the Modules page, you can delete an entire Module, including all content listed within it, by clicking on the Tools icon and selecting Delete.  If you do not want to delete the entire Module, you can delete individual items within the Module by selecting the X icon associated with the item.

Module Delete

Important Note: Deleting items from the Modules page will only delete the item from the Module. This will not delete the item from your course. If an item is deleted from only the Modules page, it can easily be added back to the Module by going through the Add Content process. Graded assignments that are deleted from the Modules page will not be removed from the course or the gradebook. If you remove a graded item, you will also need to remove it completely from the area of the course that corresponds to that type of item (i.e. Assignments, Discussions, or Quizzes) by accessing the link for the item type from the Course Navigation.

Remove Items from the Course Navigation

Items can also be deleted by accessing the specific item type from the Course Navigation menu.

Course Navigation

Once you have accessed the area of the course that corresponds to the type of item you would like to remove from the course, you can delete the individual content by clicking on the appropriate tool icon or X icon depending on which icon is used for that item.

Please Note: Deleting an item in this manner, will completely delete the item from your course. Items deleted in this manner, must be manually recreated if you decide to add them back to your course at a later time.
