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.
Hello, I have set up a Canvas course with two groups: students and supervisors. It seems the supervisor group are able to see unpublished modules. Not sure how to fix this. I have checked their permissions - they have the same as the students with a few more added re marking. They are unable to publish/unpublish, but they…
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…
