Checklists added to the Coursework Tab

Arielle.M.905

I believe that adding "Checklists" into the Coursework Dropdown Menu can help students quickly access all of the checklists that their instructors have created.

As of now, the ways students can access my checklists is if I post them in every Announcement and in the modules. It has been my experience that students have difficulty navigating the website on their own and remembering where to find their tasks, etc. I use the Checklist in the hopes that it is one place they can always go back to know exactly what they need to do without being completely overwhelmed by the Modules.

I suppose the Calendar is a quick work around provided that all of my checklist tasks have due dates and that I have added the dates to the Calendar.

I hope that this can become a possibility sometime soon.

Hi @Arielle.M.905,

Thank you for sharing this suggestion and explaining how you’re using Checklists to support students who struggle with navigation and task tracking. You can actually add the Checklist tool to the Coursework dropdown by editing the navbar. In the edit navbar page, click Course work, then select Add Existing Links, and choose Checklist as the tool.
Here’s an article you can follow for detailed steps: Customize your course navbar

Additionally, you might also consider using the Work To Do widget. If checklist items have due or end dates set in Content, the widget displays “all quizzes, assignments, checklists, and so on” that have upcoming or overdue dates. Using this widget alongside Checklist link in the navbar can provide students with a single, high‑visibility list of what’s due across their courses.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Regards,
Vivek
