+Coming Soon
+**************************
+
+We're pleased to announce the following upcoming change:

+* Course teams will soon be able to access data about their courses on a
+  dedicated dashboard for course-specific data. By providing insights into who
+  your students are, and what they do while interacting with your course, the

+  unexpected patterns, and inform plans for changes to the course.
