How do I get a search option on the dashboard to search for a Canvas Course?
I need to be able to provide this options to other users to easily find a specific course from all the many options available to them on the dashboard.
Hi @KathyBaldwin2 ...
You can use the keyboard combination Ctrl + F to "find" text on the page (in this case, your Canvas Dashboard). Once the window opens to type in text, just type in part of the name of the course, and it should find it.
Now, if you want to customize the display of courses that appear on your Dashboard, you can go to your "Courses" >> "All Courses" screen and place a yellow star next to courses that you want to "favorite" (so the star turns yellow). Then, go back to your Dashboard, and those courses you've starred will be the only ones displayed on your Dashboard. If you are unable to place a star next to a course, hover your mouse over the star, and a little tooltip should appear explaining why it might not be able to have a yellow star next to it. (These two Guides are essentially the same.)
I hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
This has been going on for 3 semesters now…apparently it's a bug in the system, but I'd love to know when it will be fixed. After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
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???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
