Brightspace Tip #53: Pin/Unpin Courses - CAT+FD

Skip to content

The My Courses widget (on the My Home page) uses tile-based images to make finding your courses easier. Users can choose which courses they see in their My Courses widget by pinning and unpinning courses.

• Pinning a course makes it appear in the My Courses widget.
• Unpinning a course makes it disappear from the My Courses widget.
• Pinning a course also makes it rise to the top of the Select a Course list and on the My Courses widget.

Search through all of your courses and manually pin and unpin courses to ensure that your most relevant courses are visible on the My Home page.

Follow these steps to do it.

To pin/unpin a course, you should:

1. From the Minibar, click Select a course (i.e., the waffle icon).



2. Type the name of the course that you want to pin or find it by searching in the Search for a course field or scroll down to find the course.
3. Click the Pin icon beside the course. The pinned course will move to the top of the Select a Course list and to the first position in the My Courses widget.

Note: To unpin a course click the Pin icon beside the course.

If you want to completely change the order in which your courses are displayed, unpin all of them and then pin them in the order you want them to appear. The most recently pinned course will always appear first.
