Online Course: Access Options

A course's access options enable you to control whether there is a limit to the number of unique IP addresses that a learner is able to access the course. These settings are located in the Access Options accordion of the Course Information workscreen. 

Settings

Limit Course Access by IP Address

Select one of the following:

• No Limit - Learners may access the course from an unlimited number of IP addresses (i.e., locations).
• Limit IP addresses - The maximum number of IP addresses (i.e., locations) that a user may access the course from. If you select this option, you may also specify the message that displays when the learner reaches the max. If the learner reaches the max, an administrator or group manager will be able to reset the IP list for the learner.
