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.

I was wanting to request an addition to the canvas system. I was wondering if it would be possible to place a roster count on the grade book page. I manage multiple classes and sometimes when I am booking a room or requesting items for a lab it would be incredibly nice to just open the course grade book and have the number…
Hi - I have students submit .java files to Canvas, and I use SpeedGrader to give line-by-line feedback. This stopped working in the last couple days - student files show up in preview has containing the content "JWT rejected: JTI has already been used" instead of the correct content of their file. Thus I cannot give…

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
