Hiding or showing course dates in the My Courses Widget

In the My Courses Widget, homepage administrators can configure whether start or end dates appear on the My Courses widget course cards. This functionality can be of benefit if learners have access to courses before the official course start date. Alternatively, if courses remain available in Brightspace after the last day of the course, that learners can review final grades or access their completed course materials.

  1. On the My Home or Course Home page, navigate to the My Courses widget.
  2. From the My Courses context menu, select Customize this widget.
  3. Set the Show Start Date and Show End Date check boxes to reflect the access you want to provide.

When the Show End Date option is turned off, the Closed icon does not appear for courses past their end date. Note that any changes you make to the widget configuration settings impact all users.
