Any chance you can show us a screen-grab or something that helps us understand the issue better because we tested things at our end but were not able to replicate this issue.

I guess you got me wrong.

In the solution that I suggested Admins will be setting the default state of the activities within a course and later when students explore the course whatever status they set the course activities it will be displayed accordingly.

So in a way it is actually working in the same concept that you had suggested just that we have provided admins an option to choose the default state for course activities.

We did have this thought before but decided to not pursue it since did not want to restrict our users from getting the best out of the product or course.

Would it be okay if we do a custom development for you wherein this restriction could be added?
Please let me know.

For now, we have improved the user flow between courses, sections, and activities.
We have for now made sure that these sections, courses, and activities title are clickable in nature most probably in next update we will make the whole card clickable in the "Card" layout

We have decided to include this as part of our next update of the Edwiser Course Formats plugin.

We have included this as part of our latest product version, you can have a look at it - https://moodle.org/plugins/format_remuiformat

We will have to add this as part of our next update along with some additional settings for "List" as well as "Card" layouts
