Once you have a course space, it should be accessible within ELMS-Canvas. A number of features are available, however, to make accessing your courses a more streamlined and convenient process.

On the sidebar on the left-hand side of your screen, the Dashboard and Courses links allow you to quickly view and navigate to any course that you are "enrolled" in, whether as an instructor or student.

The Dashboard also provides you with some useful at-a-glance information relating to all of your courses, such as upcoming due dates and events.

From time to time, particularly when a term ends and some course spaces are no longer relevant to you, you may wish to remove courses from (or add courses to) your "favorite" Courses listed in the Dashboard. This can be done by clicking on the Courses item in your sidebar, clicking on All Courses, and then unselecting (or selecting) the star icon next to any course.

More information on these features is available in the Course Organization module later in this tutorial.
