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!
Hello, I am looking for an instructional designer to help reformat some of our courses. This would be an as needed/after hours type gig. Any suggestions?
As it is now, assignments that are dropped show to the students as a slightly lighter font color. However, if students do not complete an assignment that is then dropped, the font color doesn't change at all and it shows as "missing" in red. Why not just change all dropped assignments to "Dropped" instead of "missing"?…
Our H5P LTI assignment scores are not returning to the gradebook 9 times out of 10. It's been going on since 15 September, and we are not aware of any event or change at that time that might have caused the issue. The H5P reports confirm students have completed the assignments, therefore ruling out user error. Is anyone…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
