How to Display Course Categories

[wmys]

We are a law enforcement institution. We need to be able to display all course categories to our learners, with the ability for them to open a category and see the courses available within it. Is this possible? We are moving from another LMS that does this and really don't want to lose the function!

Many thanks,

Kerry

@wmys ...

Can you please explain what you mean by "categories"?  Canvas really doesn't separate out courses by "category"...although what you can do is to put courses into "terms" or "semesters" ... such as Winter 2025, Summer 2025, Fall 2025, etc.  Further, you can assign every course to what is called a "sub-account".  At the College where I work, we have sub-accounts named after our programs...such as "Foundations", "Entertainment Arts", etc.  Is this similar to what you had with your previous LMS?  Here are some Canvas administrator Guides that might be helpful:

• Admin Guide - Instructure Community - Terms
