When you click on a course ou will start at the course's Home page (the course homepage). This page contains a number of fixed widgets by default.

1. The Banner is the course image at the top of the homepage.  This image is also your course thumbnail in the course overview, making it easy for students to navigate to your course (if they've pinned it to their personal homepage). The banner is your course's business card, so choose an image that fits your course.
2. Under Announcements you post announcements for students, for example a welcome message, updates about course changes (changes in lecture halls or times) or new course materials (literature, assignments, tests, etc.) and/or approaching deadlines.
3. The Quick Eval widget provides teachers with one place to view all student submissions pending assessment. Assignment, quiz and discussion submissions are displayed in a sortable list and can be selected to go directly to the assessment page. 
4. In the Calendar you can see all upcoming events, such as deadlines and meetings. Under Scheduled events you will see these events in list view.
5. Activity Feed is a widget on the course home page that provides a central place for teachers to post messages and assignments. You can also post links to course materials and external resources. This allows students to quickly access links to important materials, comment on posts from teachers and classmates, and upload files to assignment posts. Teachers can use simple HTML markup to format messages and assignment instructions.
