Learners sometimes have a hard time keeping track of what they need to get done. They may need to hop in and out of several courses to determine if there are upcoming assignments or projects with due dates in the near future (or even in the past!). The \u201cWork To Do\u201d widget helps by providing learners with a summary of assigned learning activities from all their courses that are overdue or have an upcoming due date. <\/p>\n

The Work To Do widget is designed for learners and it displays all their overdue and upcoming learning activities across courses or within a course. This widget can help learners to keep track of assignments and activities that are due.<\/p>\n

All quizzes, assignments, checklists, etc., with due or end dates in the near future or past appear in one place on the learner\u2019s My homepage in the \u201cWork To Do\u201d widget. Overdue work appears at the top of the list, and upcoming items appear below.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/a>
Example of the Work To Do widget<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learners will see the \u201cWork To Do\u201d widget on their My Home page as well as their course homepages. The learner will be able to see overdue and upcoming learning activities for each course where the default course homepage is being used.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/a>
Example of the Work To Do widget showing no activities due<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Work To Do widget can be seen by users with the role of student. Instructors will see the Work To Do widget when they view the course as a student<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Instructors who have opted to customize their course homepage<\/a> and want their students to be able to see the Work To Do widget on their customized course homepage, will have to add the widget to the course homepage.<\/p>\n
