Setting up your Home Page

The Course Home Page is the first view your students will have when they enter your course.

Customising your Home Page

308 - Course Home Page Customization from Instructure Canvas Community on Vimeo.

What you need to know about the Home Page is:
  • The choice is yours: Pick from the Course Activity Stream, Course Modules, Assignments List, Syllabus or a Pages Front Page that you design to be the home page of your course
  • Information at your fingertips: Users will see course navigation on the left, and the "To-Do" list and "Coming Up" on the right
Two more ways you can use the Home Page:
  • Add Announcements by changing the course settings to allow up to 15 recent Announcements to show on the Home Page
  • Guide students to the important areas of your course with banners, buttons, and text
