When to Use?
This is a new feature that was recently released. It can simply be ignored. It’s meant for use with courses that have a specific start and end date. GVSU does not use a term duration for the setup of our Bb courses. Instead, all courses are set to “Continuous” duration.
Procedure
Here is the official release announcement from Anthology:
Now the course status appears both in the image on the course and as text beneath the course title. When a course is Private and has a start date defined in the future, the date also displays.

If a student has not yet accessed an open course with a start date in the past, a Start Now indicator appears. Once the student accesses the course, the Start Now indicator disappears.
