So now let's look at a class itself.

When you first open a classroom, you will be placed at the course homepage. Since instructors can customize their course home page, features and content, every course you have will most likely appear different from the others. But there will be an overall structure that stays the same.

The General Course Layout

The six main sections in a Canvas course homepage are:

Course Navigation links help you find your way to different parts of your course. Instructors can customize which links are shown in a course, so the ones you actually see may differ from one course to another.
Global Navigation: these remain the same as what you have already seen at the Dashboard.
Breadcrumb Navigation appears above the main body of the page. Breadcrumbs show the trail that help you see where you have navigated to inside a Canvas course. Click the house icon at the far left of the Breadcrumbs to move all the way back to the Dashboard.
Content Area:this is the actual content of the course. Since the instructor can judge what works best for the specific course being taught, this content can be many different forms: it could be a custom designed page, the syllabus, a direct entry into a discussion, announcements, quizzes, or imported content. You can view the activity stream for your course by clicking the Course Stream link in the upper right corner of the Content Area.
The Sidebar provides the tools available for the Canvas feature you are currently using. The Sidebar will change dynamically as you use different tools in a feature as well as when you move from feature to feature.
Help Corner: this remains the same as what have already seen at the Dashboard.
