When attempting to open links to "Lecture Video with Closed Captioning", the link does not work, th

When attempting to open links in my course modules, "Module 1 Lecture Video with Closed Captioning Links to an external site", the link takes me to a blank page.

I have tried troubleshooting through different browsers to no avail. Does this mean the links no longer work? I know the course I am taking is fairly new so the links should be working. I do not have an instructor as I am taking the course independently.

Please advise how I can move forward with viewing the module links to move through this course.

Hello @ArabellaEagar ...

I am sorry to read that you are having difficulties with some links in your course. We don't have access to your school's Canvas environment or any of the courses you are taking there, so we won't be able to help directly. You did say that you don't have an instructor for this course because you are taking it independently. In that case, I would suggest that you reach out to your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team or their Canvas administrator(s). Someone should be able to help you get things straightened out. Typically, if an instructor is assigned to the course, the instructor has an option in the course to check for broken links. It almost sounds like this is what is happening in this course, and it's nothing on your end you'd be able to correct on your own (unless you knew of the exact URL to view). The link validation tool that the instructor has access to scans the entire course looking for broken links and external website links that might be unresponsive and may need to be checked to ensure they work for all students.

If you are able to get in contact with someone from your school, you can give them this link and ask them to verify links in that course: How do I validate links in a course?

I hope this will be helpful for you and the people you are able to talk with at your school. Good luck!

Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
Canvas integration with React + Flask webapp - initially for authenticaiton
