Save yourself some time and use the SJR State course homepage template! The template is available in Canvas Commons. You can also contact us at InstructionalSupport@sjrstate.edu or call x4077.
Once the page has been imported into your course and published, go to Pages, find the page and set it as the "Front" page - doing so makes it the page students see when they click Home.
Within DesignPLUS, you can also choose from several Home Page templates designed by CidiLabs.
