Need option to hide solution

[maryctucker]

We would like to hide the solution button from students so that they do not see the correct answer. Is there an option to do this?

Thank you!

I'm curious about your use case---I'd think you could just not add the solution in order to "hide" it. Or do you need it to appear at some other point in time?

We would like students to submit their responses, but not have access to the correct answer. An issue we are having is that students are looking at the solution, then copying and pasting that answer or just submitting the solution without really understanding the code. We would still like like to check whether students' answers are correct and give them feedback, but not have a solution readily available for them to see. I may be misunderstanding this, but don't you need a solution in order to write SCTs?

@maryctucker @iamarcel Stepping in as the main developer on the SCT packages.

Yes you need the solution to write the SCTs, so there is definitely a use-case for "having a solution in a DCL chunk for the backend to use, but not showing it to the student".

Thanks for clarifying, Filip. That's exactly what we would like, if possible.
