Notes for reviewers

This article is about the new JUNO learning management system (LMS). If you don’t see these features on your site, your platform still uses the legacy JUNO courses.

Some lesson settings lock (cannot be edited) after the course starts. This article explains why, when it happens, and how you can unlock it.

Before you begin

Enrollment also locks, but that happens on the enrollment close date. See Enroll, unenroll, and waitlist learners to learn more.

Who can edit lessons?

Why we lock lesson editing

Locking lesson editing prevents issues with inaccurate grading. This could happen if you alter a lesson after a learner already completed it.

When does it lock?

The lock begins on the course’s start date, which is set in the Course Info tab.

Which settings lock?

Only a few important lesson settings lock. Here are the details:

(error) You can’t…

(tick) You can…

  • Create new lesson parts.

  • Delete lesson parts.

  • Edit question lesson parts, which includes:

    • Add a question title, description, and question type.

    • Set a score and correct answer.

    • Add, delete, and reorder answers.

  • Edit lesson information, like the title, slug, abstract, description, and image.

  • Set a passing percentage.

  • Toggle grading on and off.

  • Reorder lesson parts.

  • Edit video and blurb lesson parts.

Unlock lesson editing

If you need to unlock editing for the settings listed above, there is a workaround.

How you do it depends on the status of the course. Look for an orange, red, or green colored dot at the top of the page in the course’s editor. Then look at the table below to find out how to unlock editing.

The status isn’t visible while you are editing a lesson. Go to the Lesson Plan or Course Info tab instead.

In the Course Info tab, the course status is shown below the front-end editor page title.
