Discussions in Hidden Learning Modules in Ultra Appear for Students

In Ultra view mode, discussions placed within hidden Learning Modules or Folders and marked as 'Visible to Students' are still accessible to students through the Discussions tab.

Description

In Ultra view mode, discussions placed within hidden Learning Modules or Folders and marked as 'Visible to Students' are still accessible to students through the Discussions tab. This behavior bypasses the visibility settings of the parent module or folder.

Steps to Replicate

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator

  2. Create and access an Ultra course

  3. Create a student user > Enroll this user in the course created in step 2

  4. Click on + > Create > Learning Module > Set the Learning Module to hidden from students > Save

  5. Access the Learning Module created in step 4 > Create a Discussion > Set it to 'Visible to Students'

  6. Log in as the student created in step 3

  7. Navigate to the Discussions tab

Observed Behavior: The Discussion is visible and accessible to the student.
​Expected Behavior: The Discussion should remain hidden and inaccessible in the Discussion tab as long as its parent Learning Module is hidden.
