Instructors can set the visibility state for course content by deciding if
content items should be hidden from students’ view or visible to students. When
content is in the hidden state, it is not visible to learners in MyFIRE. When
instructors have set the content item to visible, the content is viewable to
the students. This tutorial demonstrates how to change the visibility state of
an item in the content page.

and access the desired course in MyFIRE.
