Courses, independent learning resources, groups, and catalogue categories can be marked as favourites.
Favourites can be used as a fast and targeted access to content. In the Portlet Favourites on the home page of the learning platform and in the tab Teach & Learn under Favourites, you can directly open the desired content with one click. In addition, you can also sort various lists by favourites.

To mark content as a favourite, you have the following options:
| Desktop view | Mobile view | |

This implies that the resource is marked as a favourite. To remove an existing favourite, click on the yellow star icon. It will then lose its colour marking.
