  Extra Blocks

  • The ILP integration is adding extra blocks to the left-hand column in courses. Until we find a solution, these need to be removed manually.  Directions are here. For more detailed information about using and configuring course blocks, click here
    

  Grade Book Setup

  • Check grade book categories are set to reflect course outline to protect against grade challenges

  • Use with Restrictions to separate different sections if you have a multi-section course
