Final removal of old course dashboards
In September 2021 we did a user interface modernization where the course overview page replaced course dashboard views in itslearning. We have until now continued to provide access to the old dashboards from the course Internet links, so that teachers could move any content to course resources. As it has been over two years, we will now proceed to the permanent deletion of old course dashboards and any content in them in early May. Please inform your teachers about the upcoming change in case they still have content in the dashboards that they want to keep.

Planner
Remove toggle in plan settings
The old planner will be available until 30 June 2024. Until then teachers can safely switch between old and new planner without losing any content. However, some schools only want their teachers to use the new planner and want to hide this toggle.
We can now run a script to remove the toggle for specific sites. Please contact support if you wish for the toggle to be removed from your site.
