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.

Is there not a feature to automatically set "Until" dates/times on assignments to be the same as "Due By" dates/times? This would be a huge time-saver for many of us… having to set them all manually is a huge time suck.
Hi! I have this question from a Special Ed teacher who is also listed as Teacher in a course with a GenEd teacher. Any ideas or workarounds on how she can see the assignment before students do? I did a google search and found some ideas, but wondering if there are tested/proven practices you have to share. Thanks! Here is…
I've seen old posts regarding this question. Can Admin users generate pairing codes on behalf of students?
I am working on utilizing the new Portfolio feature for our review of evidence in the practicum experience. Limitations we have come across are that multiple instructors within a course are not able to see the portfolio, only the instructor who created it. Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
