Course overview

The new course overview block in Moodle 3.3 onwards enables students to check their course progress and view upcoming deadlines.It allows teachers to easily see activities needing grading.

What a student sees

• The course overview is displayed on a student's dashboard and displays two tabs: Timeline and Courses.
• The Timeline tab can be sorted by dates or by courses. When sorted by dates, sections for Recently overdue (if applicable), Today, Next 7 days, and Next 30 days display. Students can click to go directly to a required item - for example, 'Add submission' to submit an assignment.This screenshot shows the timeline sorted by dates:

• Switching to the Courses view, the student then sees activities filtered by course, with a percentage completion icon.This percentage shows how many of the activities with activity completion settings have been completed so far.This screenshot show the timeline sorted by courses:

• If the student clicks the Courses tab instead of the Timeline tab, she can then view current, future or past courses. This screenshot shows current (in progress) courses:

• NOTE: For courses to appear in the 'Future' section, the student must be enrolled in them. For courses to appear in the 'Past' section, the course end date must be in the past.

What a teacher sees

A course teacher has a similar view to that of a student. Additionally, however, they are alerted when assignments need grading. The number needed grading displays for the teacher and they click the 'Grade' link to go directly to the grading screen:
