Audience: Franklin University students accessing courses in Canvas.
Disclaimer: The results and functionality of the following article only apply to the audience listed above. 

  

The List View Dashboard displays all course To Do items in an agenda view to help you easily manage tasks across all of your courses. The To Do list contains graded as well as any non-graded To Do items your instructor designates for a course To Do list. You can also add and view your own To-Do items in the Dashboard. The List View Dashboard also displays calendar events and course announcements.

Notes:

  • The List View Dashboard does not account for course favorites and displays all items based on date, course ID, due date, and due time.
  • To-do items can also be viewed in the Card View Dashboard and the Recent Activity Dashboard.
