It was my understanding that the messages displayed for activities from enrolled courses in the course overview block in the 2.9 Dashboard (and beyond) would disappear when the activity was completed or when due date was in the past. I did some more reading and it looks like maybe that only applies to assignments?
Even so, we're working on a development 2.9 site to test our customizations and stuff and the course overview block is behaving exactly the same way that it always has before (You have quizzes that are due, You have SCORM packages that need attention, You have assignments that are due), other than being more consistent than previous versions.
The messages drive our staff crazy and then, of course, they drive ME
crazy. And they don't seem to be able to remember what I say about it
because the same people ask the same question over and over (and don't
read the FAQ which explains it!!).
Did I misunderstand how the Dashboard would work? Is there something I need to do to turn on the new functionality?
