How do I add a custom link to the Navigation Area?
A link that would point to a Module or a page I have created.
Thanks!
Hi @Richard-Miami ,
I think you want the Redirect tool. I tried to find Canvas documentation but couldn't, so here is a guide from Yale University that explains the process.
Creating a Custom Link in Your Course Navigation Using the Redirect Tool
Hi @Richard-Miami ...
I agree with @TrishaMeyer1 that using the Re-direct Tool (and external LTI) is certainly one way you can add menu items to the left-hand side of your course menu. You'd just need to paste in the URL of the page that you want to point to. For pointing to a module, it's a little bit trickier...because you need to know the ID number of the module. I tried this out in my own sandbox course.
One thing you need to keep in mind, though, is that if you intend on importing/copying this course content into any other current course shells (maybe you are teaching more than one section of this course, for example) or you intend on using this course content in a future course in an upcoming semester...the links you create in this course will not be updated for other courses. They will still point to the current course...where students do not have access.
Have you considered, instead, creating these links as part of a course announcement, as part of your "Course Home" page, or part of another page you might display at the very top of your "Modules" index page? If you create these links on course content pages, when you copy/import the course content later on, those links should automatically update for you without you needing to do this yourself.
Anyway...I wanted to provide this information for you to consider, too...for what it's worth. I hope it is helpful. Sing out if you have any questions. Thanks!
Thank you @TrishaMeyer1 , this is exactly what I need.
Currently I do not have it, I will ask my school if they do, and whether it can be made available!
Hi @Chris_Hofer
I have DesignTool, maybe this is a scaled down version of DesignPlus. I played around with it, don't see an option to embed a specific Module.
Has anyone run into issues with Speedgrader erroring when opening a student submission from a dropbox? See image for error information. I accessed this directly through the gradebook and instructors are getting the same message.
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
