Customize Your Canvas Home Page with this Easy Fix!
Show your students how to begin the course by using your own customized home
page.
First, create a button that says Start Here using a free image editor online, or
make one yourself using Google Draw! Then save your button to your computer
and log into your Canvas course. Upload your new button to your course Files (on
the left-hand navigation menu).
Here are some example Start buttons:
Create a page by clicking on Pages, then View All Pages, and then the button that
says + Page (it’s blue). Add your page content and insert your recently uploaded
button using the Embed Image tool (located on the tool bar above the box you’ve
inserted your content into). Once the image has loaded, select the image and then
use the Link to URL tab at the top right. Paste the URL of your first module in the
box that pops up and click Insert Link. Click Save.
Go to Pages and publish your new page, then select the dropdown arrow and
choose Use as Front Page. Viola! It’s now your home page
