Dashboard

After login, you will be redirected to your dashboard page.

Dashboard

You can organise your course listing on your dashboard in different ways.

1. To view the course list in grid view with images, select Card as the display mode, or as a more concise list, select either List or Summary to display not only the course names but also their descriptions. Change the view from the menu above the course names.

You can sort the courses alphabetically by name or by when you last accessed, to get the most active courses to the top of the list.

You can remove unnecessary courses from the view or star the courses you want from the menu you find by clicking the three dots next to the course name.

From the menu on the left, you can filter the view by selecting All (except removed from the view), In progress, Future, Past, Starred, or only the courses that were removed from the view.
