Personalize Your Homepage
It can be very satisfying to personalize your homepage. Also, your homepage is the first thing students will see when they open your course and it is a good way to set the tone for your course.
◉ Open the Edit Window
To begin editing any page in Canvas, click on the Edit button in the upper right corner to open the editing window.
◉ Change the Image
Let's begin with changing the image. Click on and delete the current image. Next, click on the Images tab on the right side. Choose Upload Image and browse for the image you want. Once selected, add Alternative Text information so that people who cannot see an image due to a slow internet connection or using assistive technology, such as screen readers, can get a description of the image. Finally, click Upload and your image will appear.
◉ Resize the Image
You can resize the image by using the corner points and dragging it to the desired size. (Click on image if you do not see the corner points.)
◉ Edit the Title and Other Text
Next, let's add some text. Delete and type in the text you want for the course name. Add topic names to each week. Note: Templates come with links to the first page in each week's module. Leave the Week links as is to avoid breaking them. See more information on the How to Create Links page.
◉ Make Sure to Save Your Work
Click Save to see your final result. Click Edit if you want to make more changes.
◉ Reverting to an Earlier Version
If you are not happy with your results, you can revert to any previously saved version of your page via the Page History. To access the Page History, click on the 3 dots next to the Edit button and choose View Page History from the menu.
Here you can see all of your revisions. Click on a revision to view it. Once you have located the revision you want to revert to, click on Restore this revision and click the X to close the Revision History window.
