Canvas Menu vs Course Menu
The menu bar on the far left in teal/green is your Canvas Menu. The options in this menu control the entire Canvas program.
For example, when you change your notifications in the Canvas menu it applies to all your classes. The menu to the right of the Canvas Menu is the Course Menu. The options in this menu control only the course you are currently in. Note: The course you are currently in, is at the top of the screen just above the Course Menu. If you are inside a course and can not see the Course Menu click on the three lines at the left of the course name above the Course Menu. These three lines show or hide the course menu. |
