Course Card Icons

[AEWilliams]

How do I add course card icons? Thanks

@AEWilliams , teachers and other course editors can add a course image in the Settings for the course. This image shows in the course card on the Dashboard. How do I add an image to a course card in the Dashboard? If the icon you want to add is in an image file, that's the place to add it. The pixels for the card image are 262x148.

I thought the question was -- or my question is, anyway -- how to add other icons below the course image. I see shortcut icons to announcements, assignments, discussions, and files but not the gradebook, which is the page of each course that I access most frequently. Do you know if there is a way to add that icon?

Hi @jbielecki ...

There are only four icons that will appear under the solid color or an image that is on the Course Card of a course displayed on the Canvas Dashboard.  Those four icons are: Assignments, Files, Announcements, and Discussions.  Technically, you can't really pick and choose which ones you want there.  This is what the Guide says:

How do I view my courses in the Card View Dashboar... - Instructure Community - 618765 - Look under the heading "View Card Details"

These tabs mimic visibility and order in Course Navigation, so for instance, if an instructor hides the Announcements link, the Announcements tab will not display on the course card.

I hope this helps a bit.
