Schoology Course Switcher
Ever wonder what the notebook in the right hand corner is in a Schoology Course? It is the Course Switcher and it allows instructors and students to move from one course to another while maintaining their focus within a content area. For example: An instructor can be in his/her gradebook and can grade similar assignments across gradebooks or review attendance across multiple courses with fewer clicks! Likewise, students can switch between areas of their courses to submit assignments, check updates or collect important documentation.
Reordering Courses on Your Dashboard
Would you like to change the order of your courses in your Course Dashboard or when you click on the Course menu at the top of the page?
