Sections

Sections are composed of an instructor and students. Sections will appear on instructors' and students' **In Progress** tab. By default, all sections in SL&L remain open indefinitely. However, once a section has been deemed complete, administrators can close a section.

Closing a section will remove the section from the **In Progress** tab for all students of the section and add the section to students’ timelines. Closing a section will also prevent any further submission or assessment of the section's activities. Closed sections can be reopened, returning the section to the **In Progress** tab for its students.
