Discover Tool - What do you call it?
Hello, Out of curiosity what do other organisations call the "discover" tool on the nav bars. We are using this for optional modules that our users can self enroll onto, any mandatory courses we enroll them. Calling it "Discover" seems misleading and to me sounds like a search to find either all your courses you have, or…

Start dates and calendar events
We have an educator who is setting start dates for making lecture content available to cut down on manual work (making things visible later on).

Also, a frowny face emoji consistently shows up next to a document I have scanned in as a resource for students. This is distracting (and, kind-of rude, towards me). How…

So cool. And how do I tag the entire class vs just one student? Thanks!
