Your institution controls which modules appear on the My Institution tab and may rename the tab.

Modules contain information about what's happening in your courses, and you may be able to access commonly used tools. Examples of modules include My Announcements, What's New, and Calculator. You may be allowed to minimize or remove modules, but your institution can require some modules to appear. You may also be allowed to edit the settings for some modules.

Modules can appear on the My Institution tab or on course module pages you add to courses, such as the Home Page.

The system generates the information in each module. You can't add your own content to module pages.

My Institution tab modules

Modules on the My Institution tab collect information from all your courses to give you a total picture of news and activity for your courses.

The What's New and To Do modules

The What's New module reports on additions and changes to course content. The module displays the number of new items for each content type and provides links to them in your courses. The module shows items within the last seven days.

These content types are reported in the module:

  • Tests and surveys
  • Assignments
  • Blogs
  • Content
  • Discussion posts
  • Course messages

The What's New module reports changes once a day. You can see what has changed the first time you log in for the day. Changes made after you log in don't appear in the module until the next day unless you select Refresh in the Actions menu.

To Do module

The To Do module provides a chronological listing of upcoming due dates. This module is divided into What's Past Due and What's Due.

The To Do module isn't the same as the tasks tool.

Two other modules you might add are the Alerts and Needs Attention modules. These modules are for your use only and contain no information for students.


Notification settings and actions

You can edit your notification settings to control which events you're notified about and how the notifications are delivered. Some modules contain an Actions menu with options to expand, collapse, or dismiss the notifications in that module.
