Locked attributes and settings for Documents in the Learning Object Repository – 3902.1
Impact: Administrator
Updated Help Topic: Learning Object Repository
Idea Exchange ID: LEARNU-I-6434
We locked the following attributes and settings for Documents in the Learning Object Repository:
- Visibility settings
- Class conversations
- Goals and standards
Image 1: The Visible to Students button is now grayed out and cannot be changed by instructors.
Image 2: In the Details & Information panel, the checkmark for Allow class conversations is grayed out and cannot be changed by instructors. Goals & Standards has a notations that states "This is managed by your institution. Editing is disabled."
In September, we updated all existing Documents associated with the Learning Object Repository to support syncing of the identified attributes and settings. That update ensured that settings could be managed directly from the repository before locking them.
Now, any setting an administrator can modify in the Learning Object Repository will reliably sync and remain locked in associated courses. Previously, it was unclear which attributes were synced and enforced. With this update, it’s clear: if it is editable in the Learning Object Repository, it is synced and locked.
In the future, institutions will have the flexibility to choose which attributes are locked or unlocked. These changes lay the groundwork for further improvements in upcoming releases.
