Canvas automatically builds out the course summary as you add assignments to your course. Assignments, discussions, and quizzes are added to the course summary when they are built in Canvas. The course summary organizes the list in chronological order.
Because students can access assignments through the active links on the course summary page, so faculty prefer to turn off the course summary. Other faculty prefer students to refer to their course syllabus PDF or Word document for the course calendar instead of Canvas. Whatever the case, the course summary can be turned off in a few simple steps.
Turn Off Course Summary
- Select Syllabus from the course navigation.
- Select Edit.
- Under the Syllabus text box, uncheck the "Show Course Summary" box.
- Select Update Syllabus.
