Canvas tries to help you stay on top of your Instructor game with the 'To Do' list & Course Alerts. The To Do list is typically on the right side of your screen when you login. I [Kendra] have gotten a couple of questions about how to get rid of those. If there is an item that is annoying you, click the 'x' next to it. It will remove it from your To Do list (do it on the web version). Additionally, you can manage how & when Canvas alerts you about things going on in your course. Find out more below.
