Course Outline Component

Overview

Are you sure you want to remove this component?

The Course Outline component is added to your class page. It allows teachers to import Courses and Units into their Class page. Think of it as the 'link' between your Class page and Course/ Unit pages. When importing a Course the component 'pulls through' all of the items (Due Work, Tasks, Quizzes, Projects) from a Course Builder that exists on a Unit page. Once imported, students can interact with the activities from a Course/ Unit. items. When importing a Course using the Course Outline component a teachers does NOT need to add the Due Work Component on their class page. The component is a great way to allows students to self-regulate their learning.
