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.

I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
