The Timeline block provides an overview of deadlines and is displayed by default on the Dashboard.
How to make activities and resources display in the Timeline block
For activities
- Either:
- set a Due date or
- 'Set reminder in Timeline' in the Completion conditions, for more information see activity completion settings
- For teachers to see assignments which need grading, a 'Remind me to grade by' date must be entered in the assignment set up screen.
- Note 1: the Dashboard will only display a maximum of 2 weeks in the past for 'Overdue' or 'Remind me to grade by' activities
- Note 2: only 5 activities will be displayed (oldest first) per course, students will need to click 'Show more activities' if there are additional course items due or overdue
- Note 3: Quizzes do not have a Due date, 'Set reminder in Timeline' will act as a due date
- Note 4: students will not see activities on the dashboard unless they currently have access to view them in the course (i.e. If an assignment is restricted to the view of a lesson, the assignment will not appear on the dashboard until the lesson has been viewed)
For resources
- Set an 'Expect completed on' date in the activity completion settings
