There are many capabilities provided within the CMS that must be configured to provide the proper learning environment. These include things like controlling access to course modules according to some parameter. For example, it is possible to prevent access to a given module prior to completing all previous modules.
These type of controls affect the student experience. I think it is important to carefully consider how to use these controls. One does not want to have a control in place without a reason. For example, if the course content builds upon previous content, it makes sense to control the sequence.
I plan to consider the course objectives, course content, and student experience to guide choices that I need to make with respect to the course structure and controls that affect the delivery of course content.
