For Students

Dashboard & To-Do

Your dashboard shows work due today, overdue work, work due this week, quizzes closing soon, recent grades, and announcements from your courses. Assignments, quizzes, and discussions with due dates all appear in the same due buckets — discussions are not a separate section. Items disappear from the to-do lists automatically when you submit them.

Course Home

Click a course to open its Course Home. It shows quick links to Syllabus, Modules, Schedule, Gradebook, and Discussions, a progress bar for your required activities, and the module you should be working on right now.

Course Schedule

Course Home → Schedule (or Course → Schedule) shows a chronological list of all dated assignments, quizzes, discussions, and modules. Use it to plan your week. It is a list view — there is no calendar grid.

Progress

Your progress bar counts completed assignments, quizzes, and discussions. Reading text, watching videos, and clicking links do not count. There are no manual mark-complete checkboxes — progress updates automatically when you submit work.

Modules & Lessons

Open a course → Modules to see the course content organized by week or unit. Click a module to see its lessons. Click a lesson to read the content. Some lessons include linked assignments, quizzes, or discussions — click the link to go directly to that activity.

Assignments

Open a course → Assignments. Click an assignment to read the instructions and submit your response (text, URL, or both depending on the assignment).

Quizzes

Open a course → Quizzes. Click a quiz to begin. Answer all questions and click Submit before the availability window closes. Your score is recorded automatically.

Grades

Open a course → Gradebook (My Grades) to see all your grades. Recent grades also appear on your Dashboard. Grades include your score, max points, and any instructor comments.

Discussions

Open a course → Discussions. Click a thread to read and reply. Some threads require you to post a reply before reading others' responses.

Syllabus

Open a course → Syllabus to read course policies, grading breakdown, meeting schedule, and instructor contact info. Your instructor publishes the syllabus before the term begins.
