Homeroom for Canvas

Twenty-six looks for your Canvas or Quercus dashboard, with to-dos, a what-if grade calculator, a pop quiz and a focus timer.

Homeroom restyles your Canvas dashboard. Pick one of ten looks, and your courses, to-dos, grades and feedback all wear it. Canvas's layout doesn't change, only how it looks. TEN LOOKS Cyanotype, Blue Book, Line 1, Fort Book, First Class, Tear-Off, Sticker Club, Green Bin, Window Seat and Side B. Each one gives your course cards their own art, fonts and colours. Point at a look in the toolbar popup to preview it on your dashboard, and click to keep it. A BETTER SIDEBAR • To Do as a stack of cards. Slide through them with the arrows, the page dots, a swipe or your arrow keys. Each card shows how soon the work is due ("Tomorrow", "In 3h"). • Check things off and watch the next card rise. Each look has its own check-off moment. • Add your own to-dos, with optional due dates. • Grades on activity rings, one per course. You can blur them until you hover, or hide them. • Recent feedback, with your score on a ring and the marker's comment in a message bubble. MAKE IT YOURS • Rename a course, give it your own photo, or hide it • Choose cards per row and card height • Show due dates on each card, or grades on cards • Turn motion off, or hold Q to see plain Canvas for a moment • One switch turns everything off WHERE IT WORKS Out of the box on *.instructure.com and Quercus (q.utoronto.ca). If your school runs Canvas on its own domain, open the popup on that site and choose "Turn on here". Homeroom asks for that one site only. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Homeroom only reads from Canvas, using the login you already have, and only on the page you're on. Your settings, to-dos and photos stay in Chrome on your computer. Checking something off hides it in Homeroom and never changes anything in Canvas. Nothing is sent anywhere else. Homeroom is an independent project. It isn't made by or affiliated with Instructure or the University of Toronto. Canvas is a trademark of Instructure, Inc.
