Create and name your own categories to better organize your courses, especially if you teach or coordinate many courses.

Add categories to any page view: Active, Inactive, and within coordinator member section lists and instructor student course lists.

Notes

  • Categories are page specific.
  • Your personal categories don’t carry over to students’ My Courses pages. Students can create their own personal categories to organize courses as they like.
  • When a course end date passes, the course moves to the Inactive tab. If you edit course details to change the course end date to a future date, the course returns to the Active tab in the category where you previously placed it. If the course was not in a category, it moves to the uncategorized area at the beginning of the course list (top of the page).
  • Existing categories can be collapsed or expanded on a smartphone or other small devices. Switch to a desktop computer to add, rename, move, or remove categories.

The My Courses page alphabetically lists courses and products. New courses you create show in alphabetical order. However, after you rearrange courses to customize your page, new courses show at the beginning of the course list (top left corner of the tile view; top row of the list view).
