Customize Your Dashboard
A user's dashboard will show their favourited courses, enrolled courses, calendar, and tasks. The user can customize the sorting of the course sections by clicking the actions dropdown on the title header area.
A user can add or remove an item to their favorites by clicking the actions menu (the blue box with the caret) and clicking "add to favourites" on the item, or if the item is already a favourite, they can click "Remove from Favourites".
Favourites can also be configured under the "Personal Workspace" menu item. This menu will also allow a user to configure their calendar, tasks and resources. For the calendar options, a user can add appointments, view their agendas, manage, add, and share calendars, and also set their calendar settings (timezones, input formats etc).
