Canvas opening on Chat page

Greetings, Canvas opens for me on the page with the chat from one of my courses. I'd like it to open on the page with all my course tiles, which I believe it is supposed to do. If anyone can help I'd be grateful! (I am both an instructor and a student. I've looked under "Settings" and I can't figure this out). Thank you!

@ChristineDawley ...

The most common reason I've seen for what you describe is because people have Canvas saved as a bookmark/favorite in their web browser. So, if this is the case for you, maybe that bookmark/favorite is taking you directly to the "Chat" in one of your courses? If so, you would want to edit that bookmark/favorite URL so that it is pointing to your Canvas Dashboard instead of a specific area of a course. For example, you'd want to edit the URL so that it looks something like this:

https://SchoolName.instructure.com

...where SchoolName would be replaced with your own school name.

Hopefully this will be of help to you. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Outcomes not working
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
using Canvas to teach foreign languages that use accented letters and other special characters
I am currently teaching a high school Spanish course, and many of my assignments use the fill-in-the-blank question type in new quizzes. The problem that I'm encountering is when a question requires a special character, such as an accented vowel (examples include: á Ó or ü) or the special letter ñ (which is a different…
Course Analytics not currently reporting all data ?
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
