The Course Home page

Updated 16 Sep 2025

When they enter your course, students see the Course Home page. They use it to access all their course materials. You can customize this page and add class announcements.

By default, the Course Home displays a calendar, and the Assignments Due, Learning Path, and Announcements tabs. A MyWriting tab appears when students receive feedback on writing submissions. For example:

Notification icons Notification icon show how many assignments or announcements the student needs to view.

MyProgress takes students to their results page, where they can see their scores for assignments and for the course overall.

If available in your course, Learning Catalytics takes students to this additional learning tool.

The Assignments Due tab shows the Path Builders, activities, and assignments that the student needs to do in the week selected in the calendar. This tab appears only after you have added an assignment with a due date.

The Learning Path tab shows the content areas in your course and guides students through their work.
