If you need to move a resource, activity or section all the way to the top or bottom of your course page, you can save time by dragging it a short distance and then, while still holding the mouse left button down, hitting the Home or End keys to move it directly to the top or bottom of the course page.


Edit Title

This icon allows the instructor to change a resource,  activity or section titles on a course page. After editing the title, it is necessary to press the Enter key to save the changes.

This icon reveals drop-down menus in different parts of the course.

This icon allows instructors to assign specific editing roles for specific resources or activities. It may be useful for small group tasks when the teachers want to appoint one of the students as a teacher with creation rights.
