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.
How do I upload a student's assignment submission to a Canvas assignment when it was sent to me via email?
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
