To do

The “To do” page is a list of all the course content separated into Weeks, Sections, and Activities.

Activity

The “Activity” page is a feed of all comments being made on a course. You might find it useful to quickly scan any interesting comments from educators and other learners who are on your course. If you click on a comment that you’re interested in, it takes you to the full conversation in the comments section of that step.

Comments

At the bottom of each step you will notice a “Comments” section where you can participate in discussions, share your ideas and post links to useful content. It is also a platform for you to engage with other learners as you work through the course.

Progress

Not only can you see at a glance which steps you have or haven’t completed on your “To do” list, you can also see how much of a course you’ve completed, including all of your test scores, on your “Progress” page.

In order to make sure this is up-to-date, don’t forget to hit “Mark as complete” every time you finish a course step as shown below:
