Hello community!
In the side menu of the courses, I'm trying to change the name of "modules" to "Start your Course", but my Javascript is not working. Has anyone had this case and can help me?

Hi there, @RaianeSilva ...
I can understand why there might be a need/want to change the course navigation menu names...one of which is to make things as easy as possible for your students to know where to begin. Thus, the reason for the custom name of your menu button. However, IMHO, it's important to keep in mind that custom names won't appear in any of the official Canvas documentation. So, for example:
Have you considered making your "Modules" page the first page your students will see when the log into your course or when they click on the "Home" page?

That might be another option for you, and you could have a module at the top of the page that includes any content you want students to read right away. Then, they can go through each of your other modules from there. Just a thought...and maybe you are already doing something similar already.
Anyway...my $0.02 for what it's worth. Let Community members know if you have more questions about this...thanks!
Ok, gang. Three years later, and I'm trying to do this, too. But with the Syllabus link in the left nav. I fully understand all the reasons why we shouldn't do this. But we need it as a backup for instances where "Syllabus" might still appear even though we've been hiding it from the left nav with js in the browser versions.I feel like this is kind of right but also really wrong because it doesn't work
Any ideas? I have only really ever cut and paste javascript and I have css experience, but I'm a bit rusty.Thanks!
Our students learn incrementally, so they often need to easily access old courses from previous years in order to complete current year's material. The only method of doing this is to navigate to 'All Courses', then they scroll down to 'Past enrolments'. Unlike me (teacher), they cannot 'Favorite' a past enrolment so it is…
Hello! We are currently trying to design our Canvas courses and are using SCORM specifically. The thing that concerns us is the next button on the bottom of the page. A learner could skip the course entirely and just hit the next button. Our knowledge checks are built into the SCORM file, so it is not like we can have the…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
