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.
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
