Course overview block settings


Article Summary

The Course overview block shows a list of all courses in which a user is enrolled/has an assigned role.

By default this block appears in the central content block on the dashboard, but you can move the block to the left or right column.

It is possible for a Site Administrator to set the defaults and lock certain fields for the Course overview block. To do this you will need to go to Quick-access menu > Plugins > Blocks > Manage blocks, then click Settings next to the block.
