Information on the launch page

Your instructor can configure your activities to display a launch page when you click to start an activity from your Class Homepage.

A sample launch page showing a time limit, maximum attempts, and date restrictions.

The launch page acts as a landing page when you launch an activity to inform you of any important activity properties and access conditions relating to the activity.

You can use the information on the launch page to:

  • Decide whether or not you should begin your attempt at this time.
  • Example — If the launch page displays a time limit of 25 minutes but you only have 10 minutes before another commitment, you can decide if you want to begin your attempt or delay it to a later point in time.
  • Discover whether or not you're eligible to begin your attempt.
  • Example — If the launch page displays that you've already used up all of your available attempts at the activity, you'll be informed that you can't begin an additional attempt.

NOTE: A general summary of the information on the launch page is also visible for the activity in the activity's pane on the Class Homepage.

The Advanced Policies are shown as the last cell in the access conditions section of the launch page.

NOTE: The (C) Attempt Eligibility section will display an ineligibility message if certain components from the (B) Access Conditions aren't satisfied (Example — there are no more remaining attempts available) or the Advanced Policies (if defined) haven't been met.
