Managing the Canvas Dashboard and ‘Favoriting’ Courses

How to “star” or “favorite” your courses, so that they will display on your Canvas Dashboard. The Dashboard holds only 20 course cards (links to your courses) and sometimes they can “go missing.”
Here is a step by step guide on how to get the course cards to display on your Dashboard.

 

 

 

 

  1. Open your Canvas Dashboard

 

 

 

 

2. Click Courses on the Global Navigation Menu.

The Courses icon will open to a sub-menu with a link to All Courses.

 

 

 

 

3. Click All Courses

When you click on the link, a listing of all of your courses will display.

 

 

 

4. Click the Star icon to favorite a course

You can enable or disable showing the course in the dashboard by clicking the Star icon.

 

 

5. Using Global Navigation, click on Dashboard

After you click on the star icon, you can now see a list of the courses you “starred” or “favorited” in the Dashboard
