    Two weeks ago, Marie and I went to an Open Lab help session to learn how to use the dashboard. I’ve been playing with a practice course we set up to get familiar with the system. As I read through the material for tomorrow and looked at the example model courses, I had a better understanding of how these were made in the dashboard. I did notice that the menus on the model courses’ home pages were not entirely composed of individual pages. Some menu items appear to be category titles that collect appropriately-labeled posts. For example, there is no page titled “Assignments”, but there is a menu item that collects posts with an assignment category. I’m wondering if I’m correct about this or if I’m missing something in the dashboard.
