Would it be possible to add a function for the user/learner to hide previous courses/modules?

Others have had this issue and so far, no easily accessible built in solution has been found. While one can pin their current courses, being able to hide previous courses will vastly improve the user experience. Specifically, one year ago TheFoxKing06 on Reddit indicated they “would like to clean up [their] calendar so [they] just see the classes [they] care about.” Another user by the name of, jfkdkajfifjd, wrote, three years ago, asking if there is a “way to remove old classes from D2L homepage.” This is also not mentioning the countless in-person complaints, I as a student, have heard about the lack of this function.

This would be majorly helpful to the users of the D2L Brightspace Application for mobile devices. Attached is a screenshot of my personal experience with the inability to hide previous courses; to me, this is confusing and very cluttered despite the ability to pin select courses. In this screenshot I have scrolled down a little as to show if one were trying to scroll to get to a class.

    Unless a student needs to see a previous course, is there a reason that they are not simply unenrolled after the course is complete? If a teacher/prof needs to see their work after that, they can always go to CLASSLIST and to enrollment statistics to see the past students from that course (assuming that new students go into the same shell, etc).

    Does unenroll from completed courses not meet this need? (but this is done by the admin, not the student directly)

    Hi @Olive.S.4667

    Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!

    To hide past courses in Pulse, I found a PIE (Product Idea Exchange) request that aligns with your request:

    Hide past courses in Pulse app (D5245)

    This PIE request has been partially released since we now allow students to pin and un-pin courses within the app. Students can pin current courses to the top of their list so that past courses don’t appear at the top, which I believe you are already aware of.

    You can still upvote and comment on this idea, and share your use case so that it will be considered for inclusion in future releases.

    I hope this helps and should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

    Regards,
    Pulkit
