I'm so happy to learn this. I've gradually been making that seemingly useless home page useful. This tip helps a lot.

Hi Linda! Thanks for commenting. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know you have the option to delete that home page (is it the notifications dashboard, with the updating boxes?) and replace it with a content area named Home Page, and you can place anything you want on there.
For example, your syllabus, a professor bio, and other important "Home Pagey" things. :)
If you have any questions at all about how to do this please feel free to contact us at (713) 221-2786. Have a great day!
