      • option to hide the timer
      •  pop-up “time remaining” warnings at intervals

Course Homepage May Look Different

The default layout for course homepages has changed from a three-column layout to a two-column layout and now includes a widget near the bottom that gathers many important resource links for you. As always, course design may vary based on instructor preference.
