The Work To Do widget provides learners with a summary of assigned learning activities from all their courses that are overdue or have an upcoming due date or end date. You can add the widget to your organization homepage to aggregate data from all courses, and to course homepages to show only due and overdue learning activities from the course.
The Work To Do widget displays the following learning activities:
-
Assignments
-
Checklists
-
Content
-
Courses
-
Discussions
-
Surveys
-
Quizzes
By default, it displays overdue items from the past twelve weeks and upcoming items in the next two weeks, with a maximum of 10 weeks . These time ranges can be customized for an org with the following config variables:
-
d2l.Tools.WorkToDo.OverdueWeekLimit manages the number of weeks to display overdue items up to a maximum of 52 weeks.
-
d2l.Tools.WorkToDo.UpcomingWeekLimit manages the number of weeks to display upcoming items to a maximum of 16 weeks.
Regardless of the time range, the widget will display a maximum of 6 items. If additional items are available, they can be seen in the full-screen view by clicking the View all work button. On this page, all items with due/end dates for the upcoming year can be seen.
Note: If you want to extend or limit the time ranges for upcoming or overdue work for the widget, contact D2L. D2L Support can edit these properties for your organization.
