Navigating the Global Dashboard 

The Global Dashboard is the first thing you see when you log into Canvas. It provides shortcuts to your courses, groups, grades/gradebook, assignment, calendar, user settings, and help resources. No matter where you are in Canvas, these shortcuts will always be available at the top of your screen.

The video below offers a great overview of the global dashboard.

If there was one thing you should do to make your navigation more efficient, it would be to customize your Course drop-down menu so you can see only the courses that you are currently enrolled in as a teacher or student.
