Observing more than 1 student

[jvanisko]

Is there a way to sort classes by student in the Observer mode?    I have 2 students, we are all new to Canvas.   I would like all of Student 1's classes listed, then all of Student 2s classes listed.    Is there a way to do this?

Yes! ...mostly!!

You'll be able to sort the cards by dragging and dropping them on your dashboard. How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View Dashboard as an observer? 

If you use the Canvas Parent app, you can view one student's classes at a time, which is really nice. What is the Canvas Parent app? 

There are some other tips included in a blog I wrote for observers. I hope you find them helpful: Clarity for Canvas Observers

Thank you!  This should be an option on the web interface as well. It's difficult to see what is going on with three kids and the calendar only allows so many course calendars at a time.

I am also struggling with this. The web interface is not very friendly to observers with more than one child.
