- Select the "Manage Roster" tab at the top of the page.
- Click the "Bulk update curriculum settings” link.
- Select the students, and click “Update Settings."
- Under "Sound settings,” click the blue “Turn sound on or off for all modules” link.
- Adjust the settings and click “Save and Exit."
You can also click a student's individual name on the "Roster" page to turn sound off for one student at a time.
