By now you will have noticed eClass has a new look! This has changed the dashboard and added some new features like the timeline and calendar.

However, you can still customize the dashboard to suit your preferences. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to do this!

The default Dashboard

The default dashboard view showcases a timeline section, list of recently accessed courses, and a calendar of eClass events and due dates.

The first section you'll see is a timeline of the activities you need to complete across all your courses so you can stay on track. You can sort this list by dates and activity status, if it is due, overdue, etc. If you don't see this block it means you've modified your dashboard, we'll show you later in this article how to add the timeline to your dashboard.
