Can I/How do I set the announcements tab to be the home page for my students so it is the first thing they see when they open the course on Canvas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @mammagui ,
There is no way to set Canvas to show only Announcements in the home page. However, if you go into the Settings of the course and scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see the option to choose how many announcements do you want to have shown in the homepage. Alternatively, you can check out this guide:
How do I show recent announcements in the Course Home Page?
Hope this helps!
