Why is it important?
Removing the right-hand side column in Canvas offers significant benefits for both online and mobile learners by optimizing screen space and enhancing the overall user experience. For online learners, this change maximizes focus on course materials, such as videos and readings, without distractions from additional navigation or advertisements, leading to improved concentration and retention of information. For mobile users, it further enhances usability by making content easier to view on smaller screens, eliminating the need for excessive scrolling or zooming. A streamlined layout not only improves loading times and responsiveness but also facilitates smoother navigation, ultimately catering to the needs of learners and fostering better engagement with educational resources, whether on desktop or mobile devices.
