Canvas Dashboard

Canvas Dashboard

Your Canvas Dashboard consists of two main elements:

1. The actual Dashboard Links to an external site. defaults to the course view, which provides access and updates in favorited courses.
2. The Global Navigation Menu Links to an external site. on the left provides quick links to all main Canvas areas and can be accessed from any area in Canvas.

The tabs above explain what you can find/access on the Courses, Groups, Calendar, and Inbox links on the Global Navigation Menu. Information about Account options will be covered separately.

See the following video for an overview of your Canvas Dashboard.

Course Card Images

Canvas allows Instructor to upload their own images that can be displayed on the course card in the Canvas Dashboard. Everyone enrolled in the course will see this image.

Accepted images include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. For best practice, images should be approximately 262 pixels wide by 146 pixels high.

For more information and directions on how to do this see the following guide - How do I add an image to a course card in the Dashboard. Links to an external site.
