Hello. Is there a way to disable the To Do list for student view?
Looking from this thread: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Can-the-student-to-do-list-be-disabled/m-p/160239
It looks like there isn't a way to disable it.
That's horrible. We should be able to disable the To Do list. Online students use it to complete only written assignments because they do not have to access the actual Web site. The To Do list makes it easier for them to avoid learning.
Hi @BSchmidt0413 and @deborah_okey,
I'm going to paste a reply around this that I made in another thread a few days ago...
"As for hiding the entire right side of the dashboard, it's likely possible through css, but I would really discourage you from going that direction as Canvas really is designed to have that info visible. If you were to hide the right bar you may be doing more of a disservice to your users (especially students) than you realize initially. I know some people don't like that the to-do list can give students quick access to things without navigating an entire course, but it really is beneficial especially once teachers start designing courses to make use of the to-do (primarily making sure things have dates attached or adding to the to-do where applicable)."
The to-do list, in my opinion, is part of Canvas' core architecture. I know it can be frustrating for teachers if students just go off that list, but there are strategies to combat that a bit, such as making as many things as you can assignments, even if they are ungraded. By doing that, course activities will all show up on the to-do list and students may actually be more likely to do them than if the to-do didn't exist. I know this can make a crowded assignments list, but I wanted to at least put it out here as an idea.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
