Channel status

The Kanalstatus (channel status) indicates whether the channel is open, closed or in read-only mode:

• If the channel is open, students can read and write contributions as well as participate in surveys.
• If the channel is closed, it is no longer visible for students; they cannot read or contribute.
• If the channel is in read-only mode, students can read existing contributions but cannot write new ones.
  • Lecturers can continue to add their own contributions while in this mode.

Remember to save your changes by clicking on Speichern (save):

You may share the password by writing it on a white board. Students will be asked to enter it when accessing the channel:
