Module dashboard block

Dashboard block showing links to activities and quick linksFrom 16th July 2024, new modules using the Grid format only will have the Module dashboard block automatically added to the block drawer. The Module dashboard block will replace the Activities block.

This block is not required in modules using City Course Format as the Activities and Quick links are displayed via the Module dashboard.

The Module dashboard block lists the different activities and resources available in your course (Forums, Quizzes, Assignments, Lecture Capture, etc) and provides links to the index page for each activity or resource. The activities list will grow as you add activities to your module.

It also contains Quick links to Timetable, Reading Lists and Library Guides.

Please note: Modules using Grid format for the academic year 2023-24 will retain the activities block and will not have the Module dashboard block added.
