How do I use the Course Navigation Menu as an instructor?

In Canvas, an external app called the Redirect tool allows you to add web resources to your course navigation. To use the Redirect tool to add a website or page to your course navigation:

• Click Settings and select Apps, and then search for the Redirect tool.
• Open the Redirect tool and click Add App.
• In the Add App dialog:
• In the "Name" field, enter the name of the web resource you want to appear in the course navigation.
• In the "URL Redirect" field, enter the URL of the website or page.
• If desired, check Force open in new tab.
• Check Show in Course Navigation.
• Click Add App.
• To see the web resource link in the course navigation, refresh the page; click the link to test it.

To recover missing or deleted content in Canvas:

1. From within the relevant Canvas course, find the course ID in your browser's URL bar. The course ID is the number following https://canvas.park.edu/courses/.
2. Remove everything following the course ID except the forward slash (  / ), and add the word undelete. The new URL will look similar to this:

2. Click Restore next to the appropriate item(s).
3. Click OK. Your item(s) should now be restored.

You can use the Gradebook to send messages to your students. Message subjects are filtered based on specific assignment categories:

Haven't submitted yet—students who haven't submitted the assignment. This category does not include students who have been manually awarded a grade, even if they did not submit the assignment. Once a grade has been awarded for an assignment (either automatically or manually), Canvas no longer verifies actual submissions.

Haven't been graded—students whose assignments have not yet been graded (submitted or unsubmitted).

Scored less than [point value]—students who earned a grade on their assignment less than X number of points.

Scored more than [point value]—students who earned a grade on their assignment more than X number of points.

As an instructor, you can verify all external links throughout your course to ensure they are valid. You can check these links using the course link validator, which searches through course content and returns invalid or unresponsive external links.
