Reorder Dashboard Boxes

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

 

At this time of year, I have both spring and summer courses listed on my dashboard along with some other groups I am involved with.  I use them all regularly.  I would love to be able to reorder the boxes to put the most important/relevant courses at the top of the screen and leave some of the lesser used ones at the bottom.

I'm hoping that this request that came from a student can help this cause.  The student submitted a ticket asking: "Is there a feature that allows you to move around your courses on the home page? It would help out if they would be in order of my schedule."

I think this is a valid feature request -- the ability to re-order by schedule, or by order of frequency of use, etc.   Also, this is a feature teachers, students, and admins were accustomed to having in our previous LMS.

This could be quite a simple fix. Let the courses be re-arranged by the "Nickname." Then, teachers and students could use nicknames like 1st hour, 2nd hour, etc... Let those nicknames be re-ordered by numerical values as well.

That idea already had it's turn to gather votes.  You can resubmit as new if someone else hasn't already.
