Best Practices for Using Activity Feeds
Check Regularly, But Not Obsessively Set specific times to check your feed rather than letting it become a constant distraction.
Customize Aggressively Don't tolerate noise—customize your feed settings until you're seeing only relevant, valuable information.
Engage Meaningfully When you see interesting activity, engage with it—comment, discuss, share. Passive consumption misses much of the value.
Use Level-Appropriate Feeds When working on a specific course, focus on that course's feed. When planning your learning journey, review your home feed.
Follow Up on Opportunities The feed surfaces opportunities—courses to join, people to connect with, groups to explore. Act on them.
