How do I designate a subject as a homeroom course as an instructor?
This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.
It is recommended that every teacher have a dedicated homeroom. Once a subject is designated as the homeroom course, functionality is limited to items needed to manage content on the dashboard.
