How to Add Content to Student List View
List Feature Overview
Starting with the August 4, 2018 Release students will be able to change the default view on their dashboard to the new list view. Instructors will be able to add Canvas pages and ungraded discussions to the list view.
How to Add Content to List View
When creating a page or non-graded discussion, instructors can select an option to add the item to the student’s Dashboard List view. This option allows instructors to help students remember to read a course page or participate in a non-graded discussion by a specific date.
Important Notes
Please note the following:
- Instructors can select the to-do date and time for any page or non-graded discussion to display in the students' To Do list. If an item is differentiated by student, section, or group, the item only displays in the To Do list for students who have been assigned the item.
- These options are only available for pages and discussions at the course level and are not available for pages and discussions that are in individual groups. Instructor cannot customize non-graded items on a per-student basis.
- Announcements with a delayed date set will appear on the students' To Do list on the set date.
- All non-graded items display in the Calendar for the course. However, to-do items currently cannot be edited from the Calendar.
- In the Modules page, any item added to a module that contains a to-do date also displays the to-do date in the module.
- The Syllabus displays both due date and to-do items for the course.
- The page To Do list date can be set from the Design Tools assignment due date modifier
