I uploaded videos to the SCORM page and added them to the Assignments page.
When I view them, the videos appear shortened.
How can I expand them?
The simplest option is to check the option to open the assignment in a new tab or window. If that's not ideal for your situation, it may be necessary to add some custom CSS to your theme (which an admin would need to do) to increase the max-width of the main content display wrapper and potentially add a min-height to the SCORM iframe.
Apologies for keeping you hanging! The easy solution of opening in a new tab or window is in the Assignment Settings. In the "Submission Type" area, select the "Load This Tool In A New Tab" checkbox. You can still include the typical assignment instructions in the text editor above, but students will be presented with a button to launch the SCORM in its own window. They'll need to allow popups for Canvas to see it.
The more advanced option would require an admin to add some basic CSS to your theme. By default, it looks like Canvas limits the overall application width to 1366px. Something like the following will extend that setting to something a bit more realistic, for example:
body:not(.full-width):not(.outcomes) #wrapper.ic-Layout-wrapper { max-width:1800px; }
Notice there are a couple of exceptions applied to the setting, specifically for pages intended to run full-width, like Speedgrader and Outcomes.
After we did this at my organization for some subaccounts, we also didn't like how SCORM that we do want to load on the assignment page looked, so we adjusted the height on the iframe in that case:
body.assignments iframe.tool_launch { height: auto!important; min-height: 600px!important; }
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
