We have added three new widgets into SLATE for you to add to your custom homepage.
The new widgets include:
Content Navigator is a custom widget for easy and quick navigation to modules, submodules, and content.
The Welcome Window Widget is the perfect tool to welcome users, help orient them to the structure and navigation of the course, and set them up for success.
The custom Visual Table of Contents widget creates a card for every module created in the course. The card contains a unique image for each module; and pulls in the description and number of topics for each module. It also has a progress tracker and various ways of getting users back to where they left content.
You can add these widgets by creating or editing your custom homepage.
