Dynamically display content that each user has recently viewed.
The widget will pull a list of recent content views (3 seconds or more on a page) for a Learner. The last item the Learner viewed will appear first in the list.
Note
Views are tracked in a separate database, and will take a few minutes to populate in the widget.

The preview will not display the Recently Viewed Content widget. Because we don't track this activity for admin, we don't have examples to display. View the widget logged in as a learner and relevant content will populate.
