  • What does this mean for me? Your students will be able to search and find content more easily in your course. 
  • What do I need to do? If you’re nervous students might find outdated materials, clean up your course by deleting or unpublishing unused content.
    • Included in search: Content pages, announcements, discussion prompts, assignment descriptions
    • NOT included in the search: Word docs, PDFs, links to external web sites or publishers, videos
  • I’m not ready for this! If you need more time to clean up your course, you can disable Smart Search temporarily in feature options.

Have questions? We are happy to help in the TLP Drop-In Zoom Lab Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm.
