Making a Homepage in Canvas
Hey Teachers!
Do you have a homepage in Canvas? This is the first thing your students, parents, administrators see when they navigate to your class. What will their first thoughts be about your course? Did you know you can put up to the most recent 15 announcements on your homepage automatically? Can users find the necessasry information easily in your course? You can help the users of your course by customizing your home page.
