[Dashboard] Option to Enforce Card View as Default
Our students often navigate to the To Do list in Canvas. When they hit show more, they are presented with the List View. Many then adopt this view as a way to manage coursework. However, not every course in our institution is designed to support this format. For example, instructors may require an initial discussion post on Wednesdays and replies by Sunday. Therefore, they set the due date to Sunday. List View will only show when something is due and does not reflect any and all soft dates in some courses. Another example is that sometimes an instructor will set a due date of Friday but give them time to submit late. List View only focuses on current and upcoming. If a student defaults to this view and misses a due date, then they assume there is no assignment.
Sure, we can put this all on the student, and indeed it is their responsibility, but many miss work or use this List View as an excuse. I want to eliminate this by being able to enforce Card View as the overall default as an admin and as an instructor, not just initially but permanently. If List View must remain an option, then have their dashboards return to the default after a short period.
