Student Success Dashboard
Student Success Dashboard was a web application is to provide students an overview of their courses from Canvas, along with providing academic advisors a way to view student class information. Canvas does not currently provide an overview for a student class and their assignments, and the only way to view what assignments are due is to use Canvas’s Calendar page. This web application allows for the student to organize their current classes and gives them an easy-to-read layout of their course performance along with upcoming work. Academic advisors currently can only view a student’s final grade in a class, which limits how much advice they can give to a student since they cannot view their entire course history.
