Hello! How can I make the video content in the Modules section mandatory to watch in full without allowing skipping?
Hi @DanielleTiongso ...
By chance, has your school purchased Canvas Studio? (You would see a "Studio" icon on the far left-hand global navigation menu of your Canvas environment.) Studio has a feature that allows instructors to see how much of a video a student has watched. So, while Studio doesn't prevent students from skipping parts of the video, you still would be able to see if and when students are skipping over parts. Studio is a paid add-on product from Instructure (the folks that make Canvas).
I believe that Kaltura (a third-party add-on to Canvas) also has a similar feature. I'm not sure if your school has purchased Kaltura or not, but that might be worth checking out as well.
Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question in some way.
Hey @DanielleTiongso!
The unfortunate reality is even if there is a way to require watching the full video, it doesn't mean that students are going to watch it. They can just as easily start a video, walk away, and come back once the video is over. While @Chris_Hofer has a great idea about the insights in Studio, have you considered using the Stimulus option in New Quizzes? You can add the video you want students to watch as the stimulus part of the question. Then add as many questions as you would like that can only be answered by watching the video. Since the video would be the stimulus, it would be on the screen the entire time while the questions could be scrolled through as needed.
How do I insert stimulus content in New Quizzes?
This method is not perfect either since students could share answers, but it may encourage a few more students watch the video, especially if there was a grade associated with watching the video. (If you do not want the quiz to count as a grade, you can always set it for 0 points in the editing window.)
Just a thought.
I am trying to download a single submission that has been annotated by a grader using the API. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using Python using the canvasapi and requests libraries to query the preview_url in the submission attachments. import requests from urllib.parse import urljoin preview_url =…
Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
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…
