How do I make a Canvas assignment that opens a webpage that Gemini and I made

Question

Gemini (AI) helped me write the code for a web page that has embedded in it an interactive quiz we made, and room for other interactive assignments.  I would like to prepare an assignment in Canvas that opens that web page.  How do I do that?  All I have right now is the code.  I've asked Gemini to optimize the code for use in this learning management system, but when I use the html editor in an assignment directly, it doesn't create a web page. Thanks, JW

Hi @JWinterer ...

Is it possible that the HTML that was generated contains tags that are not allowed in the Canvas RCE (Rich Content Editor)?  Instructure has a Canvas HTML Editor Allowlist that details what HTML tags are allowed in Canvas.  If a tag is not listed, then it's generally stripped out of the HTML editor side of the RCE.  Here's another Guide that shows how to access the HTML editor in the Canvas RCE: How do I use the HTML view in the Rich Content Editor?.

I hope this helps a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions.
