Use this page to learn about the course options for EdgeEX courses.
Overview
Course options can be configured for a Course, Section, or Enrollment. They control the way a course behaves for a whole district, one section, or a particular student.
Note
Course options are different from student profile settings. Student profile settings are set for each student and they control the way all courses behave for a particular student. In both EdgeEX and heritage Imagine Edgenuity courses, the following features are controlled at the individual student level:
- Translation
- Text-to-speech
- Orientation video
Coming to EdgeEX only, several features will be controlled at the individual student level, including but not limited to:
- Early Fall: Disable auto-play for videos
- Late Fall: Reduce number of questions on assessments
- Early Spring: Allow untimed assessments
