Is there a way to wrap text in a Module tile? Right now, text in long Module titles gets cut off after one line.
Hi @training14,
The only way to adjust this on Canvas for the web would be through custom CSS through your school/institution theme (it appears the "ellipsis" class "white-space" property could be set to "pre-line". This is something that would affect all courses, and many administrators want to keep these kind of customizations to a minimum or zero, so you'd need to talk to your local Canvas team to see how they feel about this. Please also note that this wouldn't affect the Canvas apps (I know there are ways to apply similar customizations on the app, but I'm not familiar with how to do that myself).
Hope this helps a bit!

Rather than try to find a work-around, I would urge you to shorten your module titles. It should have no more than five words. Consider how your module titles look on mobile devices. Long titles are problematic.
Rather create a long module title, just make an introductory page with the important information.
I get your point about title length and adding additional information elsewhere. I use one module per week of a twice-per-week course. I was using the Module title to list the topics of each lecture, which could run a bit long.
Working from your suggestion, I shortened the Module title to just the dates. Rather than making an introductory page, I added a Text Header to each Module with the topics of each class for that week. The Text Headers wrap if the text exceeds one line, and the hierarchy from Module Title to Text Header to Assignments and Quizzes looks pretty clear on both desktop and mobile devices.
This is also a problem in setting up a quiz with long sentences as I have experienced it. Text does not wrap.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
