Multiple course cards not displaying

I work with teachers who are logged in as observers in classes for multiple students they are working with. So, they have multiple classes where they are observers. Recently, we noticed that Canvas stopped allowing more that 1-3 course cards on the dashboard. Is there a way to get Canvas to allow more cards (10+) to appear on the dashboard at the same time?

@DouglasBeam hello and welcome to the Community! A new feature to Canvas is the ability to change between the different people we are observing. This came out recently to help parents, and teachers like yours, who observed multiple students. In the top right of the dashboard, I see your teacher's name in a dropdown menu. Click here and see if her students are there with their courses.

I've included a picture of your screenshot with the dropdown circled. This link from the Observer Guide might be helpful as well.

How do I use the Dashboard as an observer?

Click "Courses" and then "All Courses." There are stars to the left of each course. Click the stars for the ones you want to show up on your dashboard.

Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…

A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
Please restore student ability to immediately download submissions to verify them...
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
