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; }
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
Known issue - headings Just wanted to note that this known issue is described as 'styling', when it is actually an accessibility issue. Headings are structure on the page and essential for users who rely on screenreaders.
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
I am a physics teacher at a high school. I love to use the random generation of formula questions to give each student a unique quiz/test. However, units in physics are extremely important. In the past I have also used Moodle as an LMS and they included a feature that could grade the units listed after the numerical…
