When you enter into your Canvas dashboard, a lot of modules may appear.
Modules on the dashboard are typically divided between:
- Published Modules - in the upper half of the dashboard. These are modules which have been published and so are available to students
- Unpublished Modules - in the lower half of the dashboard. These are modules which have been not published and so are unavailable to students
While this may be confusing, it is possible to quickly and easily identify which modules be part of the current semester, and which are future or past semesters.
The most effective way of doing so is to:
1. Click on the Modules link in the Global Navigation and then click the All Modules item
2. From here, all your modules are listed. You can identify which modules belong to the current semester by looking under the “Term” column
3. From here, you can decide what modules you want to appear on your Dashboard. To do this, click the star to the left of the module name.
Starred or "favourite" modules will appear on your Dashboard and any unstarred modules will not.
