Canvas@Illinois, Global Navigation Menu

An overview of the links found in the Canvas global navigation menu.

The Global Navigation Menu is located on the left of every page in Canvas. The links in the Global Navigation area provide quick access to all of your courses. The links that are available include Account, Dashboard, Courses, Groups, Calendar, Inbox, Commons, Help, and My Media - Kaltura at Illinois.

The left-hand navigation bar includes a link to "My Media - Kaltura at Illinois." Clicking on this link allows you to access all of your media, whether you have added them to a course in Canvas or not.  It lets you do most things you can do when you log into Mediaspace and go to My Media, including adding new media that you don't want to post to Canvas right away, editing your videos, editing and publishing captions, and adding collaborators. Now, if you are mainly using Canvas to share your Kaltura videos, you can do everything in one place.
