Administrators can set up site-wide default instructions that are automatically displayed in any course that is not fully developed. These instructions can be customized to fit the needs of the institution and provide a consistent experience across all courses. Recognizing the unique needs of different courses, this feature allows for the customization of instructions on a per-course basis. This flexibility ensures that guidance is relevant and tailored to the specific context of each course.
