[ARCHIVED] Where to put links to School Resources?

[JackieMadden]

In our old LMS we had the ability to post general information in different areas on our dashboard page.  We had a tab for things like IT Tips and Resources, Library Resources, Virtual Learning Resources, etc.  Is there a way to add something like that without creating a Course?  We don't want to clutter the dashboard but we want this information to be readily available.

Thanks!

You can add custom links to the "Help" menu. More info here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-customize-the-Canvas-Help-Menu-for-an-accoun...

Alternatively, you can also post a global announcement which will always appear on top of the Dashboard (Unless students remove it)

Thank you for that excellent suggestion!  We're still figuring things out and I appreciate your help!
