Speaking of content topic items...

Topics items are the content that comprises class topics. A content topic item allows a teacher to add registered content so that students can view it. Content can be a video, PDF, Word, Excel, SCORM or any other type of file that students can view.

It is possible to deactivate or reactivate a content topic item. As it is deactivated, it is no longer displayed in the class, even if the student has already started it. When a topic item is deactivated or reactivated, the score of the active students, i.e., those who are still taking the subject, is recalculated. The score is recalculated whenever there is any change in the class topic structure. Inactive registrations are not affected. Inactive topic items are not considered in the calculation of grades. However, for the registrations that were completed prior to deactivation, they continue to be considered.
