I want to add links at dashboard in order to convenient for students to use.
But I didn't find the function about customize my dashboard.
How could I customize the dashboard? Is it possible to customize it?
Thank you very much!
Hello,
I don't believe there is an option to customize the Canvas dashboard based on what you want to do. You can, however, customize your homepage and Course Navigation.
Here is an article on how to customize your course navigation: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-manage-Course-Navigation-links/ta-p/1020
On your course homepage, I recommend putting easy-access links for your students. For example, you can include images and hyperlink those images, so they can look like buttons. Below are some example homepages I have created. These examples I have linked content within the course, but you can also link external links. When I taught elementary, I would create buttons for Clever and other websites I have my students regularly use on the homepage.
Hi @kunikotakahashi,
You could use custom JavaScript/CSS as part of your Canvas theme to make customizations to almost any area. Depending on exactly what you want to do, the JavaScript/CSS could be very simple or get very complex. If you do go this route, it would only affect Canvas on the web (not mobile apps). Also, when doing this, be aware that Canvas could always have an update that would completely break your customizations, so it's something you'd need to check on every now and then.

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…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
