      To hide and unhide a course the user preferrence block_myoverview_hidden_course_COURSEID is set or unset. There's no way to unset the param using WS.

      There are two ways to solve that:

      1. Add a new WS to unset a user preference.
      2. Admit some value into the update user preference WS to unset it (i.e. false).

      In addittion course overview block should consider values 0 or false as not hidden course here.
