Managing the Pages in Your Course#

Tags: educator how-to

This topic describes the applications and resources that your course experience has enabled outside of the core content experience and how you can modify these tools to fit your course needs.

Working with the Default Pages#

By default, every new course has the following key areas enabled:

  • Course

  • Progress

  • Date

  • Discussion

In the learner experience, these will be shown in the primary navigation bar at the top of every page, consistently in this order for all courses.

The navigation bar in the LMS, showing the default pages.

As a course team member with the Staff or Admin role, you also see the Instructor option in the navigation bar, shown at the end of the list of pages. Learners do not see the Instructor option.

Note

The progress page can be disabled and thus hidden from the learner experience, though this is not commonly done and is not recommended. The information on the Progress page is critical for motivating learners, particularly in courses that include graded subsections, but also for courses that include only ungraded exercises. Before choosing to hide the Progress page for your course, consider the possible effect on learner engagement.
