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.
How do I create a list of assignments and score received by each student in my course in canvas? This will let student know where they stand in terms of course grade.
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…
Hello, In the past, changing participation dates in the course settings effectively acted as an override on the term access settings. Unless I'm missing something, that no longer seems to be the case. Even if course participation is changed from term to course, it is the term access dates that dictate access within the…
Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order. The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
