[Modules] color items in modules

[ChandlWM]

Problem statement:

I have lots of items in lots of modules. It would be nice if I could in class say, scroll down to the one I highlighted red for the day. I could see so many other uses for this as well. Some teachers might color them a variety of different colors for whatever reasons they choose.

Proposed solution:

Give teachers the ability to make items in modules colored. Then I can say scroll down until the red one in the module. I think it could be a faint pastel color behind the text kind of like what is done in the gradebook for late work.

User role(s):

instructor

Hi @ChandlWM -

Thank you for sharing this idea with the Community! Instructure is driven to create accessible products, and relying on color coding would create inequities in the user experience.

In the past, these ideas have been suggested -

• Color Code Headings in Modules
• Colored Cells for Modules and Text Headers

Some instructors have used emojis in module titles to help them stand out. For example, the 📌 or ⭐, depending on how you wanted to create emphasis.

I know this is likely not the response you had hoped for, but I hope the explanation is helpful.
