"Faculty want finer grained control over when resources are visible to students. They want to be able to upload resources, yet constrain the dates/times at which they are available and dates/times at which they are no longer available to students. They would like to be able to manually release document(s) that are in the Resources tool but currently hidden."
Use cases:
- An instructor wants to pre-load all her resources at the beginning of the term, but organized into one folder for each week of class, and each folder is automatically "turned on" at the beginning of each week.
- An instructor wants to upload exam solutions to the site, but set them to be visible only at midnight following the exam day.
- An instructor wants "stale" content to disappear from the student's view after two weeks, yet still wants to keep the content visible to teaching assistants and instructors of the site.
- An instructor wants to upload lecture notes for an entire term in one go, but set them to be revealed to students only after the scheduled lecture.
- An instructor may want to post answer sets to homework assignments, but only make them available after the due date of the homework, and yet would like to have them all uploaded and available for teaching assistants at the beginning of the semester.
