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
- Set a Due date or 'Set reminder in Timeline' in the Completion conditions.
- For teachers to see assignments which need grading, a 'Remind me to grade by' date must be entered in the assignment set up screen.
Notes:
- The Dashboard will only display a maximum of 2 weeks in the past for 'Overdue' or 'Remind me to grade by' activities.
- Only 5 activities are displayed (oldest first) per course; students need to click 'Show more activities' if there are additional course items due or overdue.
- From Moodle 5.3, quizzes can have a Due date. The Timeline block shows the due date ('Quiz is due') and the close date ('Quiz closes') as separate items. For quizzes without a Due date, use 'Set reminder in Timeline' instead.
- 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).
