# Disabling Class Activities

You can control when and if students have access to Class Activities, including labs, external links (video, document and/or website), Assessments and SCORM modules (Note: Surveys cannot be disabled).

Instructors can enable or disable any activity in classes they are assigned to teach, and Operations managers can disable activities in classes they manage. Enabling or disabling an activity applies that setting for all students in the class.

All class activities are enabled by default. Instructors and Operations managers have a check box on each activity to disable or re-enable it; there is also a select all check box at the top of the activities list.

The ability to disable activities must be enabled on the Course or you will not see the check boxes in the class. For more information, click here.

Simply uncheck the Enabled box to disable the activity or check it again to re-enable it. Students see the activity’s availability within 30 seconds. You can also check the Disable all activities box to disable all activities in the class.

Students have a Launch button for all enabled activities. Disabled activities appear slightly grayed out with a **Disabled by Instructor** message for students and the Launch button is not available.

**Please Note** If a course is set to Allow activities to be auto enabled after a class ends, any activities that were disabled when class ends still show as disabled in the class to instructors or administrators but will be enabled for the students on their enrollments.

A class is a scheduled instructor-led event with a start and end time/date. Typically, these include lectures and hands on activities such as labs.

Activities are configured in the instructions editor and represented in the lab instructions by a replacement token. Activities fall into two broad categories: Questions and Automated.

- Questions are multiple choice or short answer questions.
- Automated Activities interact with the lab environment (Virtual Machine/Container/Cloud Platform).

Assessments are used to determine the user's comprehension of materials. Assessments can be created in the TMS as a multiple choice test and then added to courses.

SCORM is e-Learning content that organizations can create and upload to the TMS to then be added to courses for students to access as course activities.

TMS entity that can be applied the organization, course, or class to gather feedback from their learners to create even better experiences.

Bundles together content to then be set up for training through classes, subscriptions, and course assignments. Courses can include labs, videos, SCORM, LTI, external links, assessments, and documents. Courses must be assigned to a Content Provider and a Publishing Group to be available to set up for training.
