Set Course Channels preferences

The Preferences > Course Channels page lets you control:

Which channels instructors and students see on their Today's View page.
The order in which channels appear by default when course members first sign in.
Whether or not you and students can hide, move, or add channels on the Today's View page.

Note: The Preferences pages are never available to teaching assistants.

Tip: If you are not sure what a preference setting means, place your cursor over the Help icon to see a tip.

To view or modify Course Channels preferences for your course:

Click Preferences in the top-right corner of the page.
Click Course Channels in the Instructor column.

The Course Channels page has two sections:

Channels available to Instructors
Channels available to Students

Each section lists the available channels. Make the following choices in both the Channels available to Instructors and Channels available to Students sections on the page:

Enable: Select Enable to make the channel available. If the Enable box is cleared, users cannot view or add the channel to their Today's View page.
Channel Order: Select the appropriate number from the list to set the order (or position) of the channel on the Today's View page. Channels are listed in two columns (left and right) on the Today's View page; you set the order in each column separately.
Whether instructors and students can change the channel order, add channels to, or hide channels from their Todays' View page.
- To let instructors customize their Todays' View page, select Instructors can customize their Home Page.
- To let students customize their Todays' View page, select Students can customize their Home Page.
When these options are cleared, the respective users cannot reorder or change the channels that appear on their Todays' View page.

Save preferences

To save your choices, click Save Preferences. When you finish setting preferences, click Save and Close.

Caution: If you go to another page before you save your changes, your changes are discarded and the previous settings are maintained.
