Any thoughts on a collapsible course menu for the iPad app? The feature is a part of the new UI for the web and makes sense for the app as well. As is, the menu takes up almost one-third of the screen on an iPad. Thanks.

Working with an LTI content provider yesterday, I realized how important this feature is to external tool usability.  Even though the external tool was set up to load in new tab on the browser setup, it loaded using an iFrame in the iOS app's content area.  Without the ability to collapse the menu, the space is very limited to view the digital learning materials.
