# Course progress

The *Course progress* tool ![](https://748165138-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LH9CCYPqjHw1VKNcuiq%2Fsync%2F87939347cfc643b74964aecd71113ae65ff319d2.png?generation=1598261530101621\&alt=media) (or perhaps *Course diary* - the name of this tool is still under consideration) allows the teacher to build a course program to be shown (optionally) on the course homepage to include a progress status relative to the current teachers and learners' progress in the scheduled topic preparation.

This tool is only useful in the case of “synchronous” courses, in which the teacher and the learners progress through the course concurrently. Configuring *Course progress* is quite easy, although quite a lengthy process.
