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.

For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
