The homepage is initially set as the first location that learners encounter when they open a class for the first time. However, you have the option to customize this setting, allowing any of the menu bar tabs to serve as the section where learners are directed upon opening your class. The homepage is designed to be completely configurable; this is your space so please utilize this section to meet the needs of your class.

Missing Activities:
Under "Missing Activities," teachers will be able to see a list of students in the class who are missing any activities. Teachers can also view any student submissions by clicking on the name of the activity that they would like to view. As demonstrated in the video, teachers can make new comments or view past comments by clicking on the comment icon at the far right of the activity. Teachers are also given a small organization feature located at the top right corner of the "Missing Activities" window. Teachers can reorganize the list by student or activity.
Recent Submissions:
The "Recent Submissions" window is practically identical to the "Missing Activities" window with all the same functions. The main difference between "Recent Submissions" is it allows the teacher to see recent activities submitted by students, that are ready to be graded.
About Me:
The About Me section allows the teacher to have a small description of themselves for the class to see. Teachers have the ability to toggle this on and off by clicking Show About Me and Hide About Me. Co-teacher with the permission "Display name as co-teacher to students" will also be shown here. See our article on Co-teachers for more information.
