For this week's tech tip, I am talking about
Canvas' dashboard. The Canvas dashboard it the first thing you see when you
long into Canvas. Something that I really like about Canvas is how you can
customize the colors and titles of your classes. I know some people who title
their classes with their course ID and class name and I personally title my
classes just with the class name. There are so many options so you can make it whatever
you want it to be.
Something
else that I do that is really handy is I customize the color of my classes on
the dashboard. In my planner I color code my classes, for example for my Indian
Epics course I write all of my homework and assignments in my planner in a
light, lime green color so for my Canvas dashboard I made my Indian Epics
course that same color.
You can even
customize the colors so much that if you know the exact location on the color
wheel you can write the corresponding color name (a series of letters and
numbers) to make it the exact color you want.

Hi there! I think it is so awesome how you have been utilizing all of the features on the Canvas dashboard! I never even thought to color code my dashboard to my planner. Such a great idea! I will for sure remember this for future semesters. I feel as though that would help a lot. I still sometimes click on the wrong class even though they all have their class name as the title. Thanks for sharing!
