1. A computer implemented method of gating notification relating to a content object of an electronic learning platform, wherein the computer comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions executable by the processor to perform the method comprising:
a) determining whether the content object is available to at least one user, wherein the content object is initially hidden from the at least one user and becomes available to the at least one user in response to an action by the at least one user;
b) upon determining that the content object is available to the at least one user, sending a notification to the at least one user indicating that the content object is available; and
c) upon determining that the content object is not available to the at least one user, gating the notification until the content object is available to the at least one user.
