You can receive up-to-date activity from all of your courses through Activity Stream

By clicking on one of the items, it takes you directly to that course activity. Within Activity Stream you can:

  • Follow discussion posts as they happen.
  • See how many submissions you will need to grade, and access new submissions.
  • Receive reminders about personal events and meetings
  • Look at the birds eye view of all your courses activity.
  • Filter your view to show the categories you want to see. 

Activity Stream View


Activity Stream Categories

Activity stream items are grouped into four categories to make a list easier to scan:

Important: See overdue assignments, tests, and graded discussions.  The number of items in this section makes up the count shown by Activity Stream in the list where your name appears.  If you dismiss an item in this section, you won't be able to view it again even if you sign out and sign in again.  When you dismiss a stream item, the original content isn't affected.  You just remove the notification from the activity stream.

Upcoming: View your top five events that will happen in the next seven days.  Select Show More for a complete list.  This section doesn't appear if no upcoming events are available.

Today: See everything happening and due in the next 24 hours, including institution-wide announcements about emergency notifications and updates.  If your instructors added announcements, they appear here or in the Recent section.

Recent: If you haven't checked in for a bit, view stream items that were previously in the Today section over the last seven days.
