HOME PAGE | VIEW TIP

There are several different options for a home page in Canvas. For many courses, the Front Page option works very well and is highly recommended. This type of custom home page serves as a landing page for the course letting students know right away where they are and providing them with a short introduction to the course and how to use it.
