      From this page, you can choose to make the below adjustments: - **Course List & Course Home Pages**-Change the images from the book cover to any image from the course media library or uploaded from your computer. - **Title**-Update the course title to differentiate the course for you and your students - **Start Date**- The start date governs what kind of notifications students will receive if they sign up for them. Early in the course, the notifications are just about logging in frequently but later in the course they become more targeted. - **Open Date**-The open date is the first day that the students can enter the course. They can still enroll before the open date but they will not be able to do anything. - **Score Cut Off**- This is the average percentage score for a student below which they are considered 'in red' and will receive messaging on the insights dashboard accordingly.

      Other features you can control from this page include: - **Calendar**-Show the course calendar on the top navigation. This has all the due dates for the course. - **Lesson Title prefix on Calendar**-When displaying the calendar, the items are by default prefixed with the lesson title containing the item. If the activity items are unambiguous, you can choose to not display the lesson titles. - **Locked for new enrollments**- When all students have enrolled, use this to stop further enrollments. This is particularly helpful at the end of the semester so that students cannot enroll in last year's course by mistake. - **Messaging**-Messaging allows for in-app user-to-user text messaging. Note that messages from the Grade Center will appear regardless of this setting. - **Grade Center shows Practice submissions**- The Grade Center (in the messages panel) will show updates on both graded and practice activities. - **Study Center**-Shows the Study Center button on the top rail. The Study Center includes bookmarked pages as well as pages recommended by the adaptive engine (where enabled). - **Auto-numbering**- Automatically number the lessons and pages in the course. - **Show Total Column on Custom Gradebook** - **Show Dashboard Course Content**
