Start Now Message on Course Card

Summary

This article explains what the Start Now message means on course cards.

Body

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.

Continuous option selected for course duration options.

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.
