Canvas Tip #3: Clean the Dashboard.

I am enrolled in and have published a lot of Canvas Courses. I’m in 14 of them and they’re still active, but I need not see them all the time. To clean up my dashboard, I customized the course cards that are displayed upon login. From the dashboard menu on the left, I click on “courses” then “all courses.”

Try it. You’ll see a small star icon next to your courses. Get rid of the star next to courses you don’t want on your dashboard. Suddenly, you have a much cleaner front-page interface to work with. Here’s how. Click “Start” below.

4 STEPS

4. That’s it. Now only these cards will appear on my dashboard. Note: If all courses are unstarred- ALL of them will appear on the dashboard.
BTW, if you like this tutorial tool, it is called IORAD and it is a Chrome Extension.
