Adding things to the To Do list

So, if you're here, you're considering stopping the worry, and loving the To Do List.

In short, this means putting everything in your class on it.

If you have Assignments that don't have a deadline, they won't be on the To Do List. If you want them to be, you need to add an assignment deadline. If you still want students to access and complete the assignment after the deadline, leave the "Until" box empty, and the assignment won't close.

If you want to be sure that students work through material you provide on Pages that is going to help them be successful with their assignments, then you should also ensure those Pages are on the To Do list. Here's how:

A more advanced option: Instead of (or in addition to) putting due dates on Pages, if you organize your class using Modules, you can use Requirements that force students to complete items prior to getting access to tasks that are on the To Do list. See the Canvas Requirements Tutorial to learn more about this approach.
