Objectives and Overview

Now that you've learned how to add Communication Channels to your profile and set your Notification Preferences in Module 2, let's customize the links in your Course Navigation. As you'll remember from Module 2, the Course Navigation is designed to help students access the Canvas features that are most important for your course. You can hide the features you're not planning to use from your students. You can also reorder the links to best reflect your course design.

Participants will be able to:

  • Customize the Course Navigation Links in Canvas.
  • Change the presentation of navigation options for a course
  • Explain strategies for providing accurate and descriptive navigation options
  • Describe the various ways to customize display of the course home page
  • Access the Student View mode and use it in troubleshooting
  • Search the Canvas guides for specific  topics

Read the lesson, watch the video, submit the assignments, take a quiz, and then proceed to Module 4. Have fun!
