Hi community!
We would like to know if it’s possible to configure a course so that it does not automatically appear on the user dashboard when it is created.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @jdurancal -- can you tell us a little more about the scenario that you have that you want the course to not be visible on the dashboard but still accessible?

I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
