Canvas Dashboard
Canvas Dashboard
The Dashboard consists of three main elements:
- Global Navigation across the top of the page,
- the Sidebar with various types of feeds, and
- Recent Activity, which comprises the main body of the page.
The Global Navigation directs users to menus or pages that display:
- all of a user's courses and groups,
- all of a user's assignments,
- a grade summary page, and
- the Calendar.
The Sidebar includes a "Coming Up" area, showing assignments that will be due soon, with links to be able to go directly to the assignments, and a "Recent Feedback" area, showing any new comments from your Canvas courses.
The Recent Activity area shows categories for Announcements, Coversations, Assignment Notifications, and Discussions. Clicking on a category expands it to be able to view the new items in each; the category can then be minimized to save space.
These menus and pages will display different items.For example, Uuder Assignments, students will see assignments that need to be turned in.
