@cruthWelcome to the Canvas Community! This is a very nice feature of Canvas: instructors can display announcements on their course home pages and can choose how many announcements to display, up to 15. This has the advantage of putting announcements front and center while still maintaining the integrity of the contents instructors position on their home page. You'll find instructions for setting that up in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13115-4152682262
As this is existing functionality, we've archived the idea.
Thanks for your reply, Stefanie. I have already made 15 announcements visible on my home page. But my suggesting--allowing the instructor to make Announcements the home page--is, in fact, not "existing functionality," because you cannot do it. Every other LMS in the known universe lets you do this, I fail to see why Canvas (which, overall, is the best LMS of the many I've used) does not. If you are happy with the announcements showing at the top of another home page, don't make it your home page. But I fail to see why you will not allow me to do so.
