This block allows you to see any of the items you recently opened within in a course. This can be helpful when trying to quickly visit past assignment or current one.
Text
This block will be great for those who want to write custom text to have on their dashboard. You can add reminders of assignment due dates, keep track of labs, and link outside media.
