[ARCHIVED] Is it possible to create a flowchart in Canvas?

[stromber]

I have created a flowchart related to my university course. It was created in powerpoint, then turned into a pdf-file. Then I thought, it could be fun to create a flowchart in Canvas, question-by-question, that students may do as a practice, like the quizzes that already exists. Anyone who know if this is possible?

HI @stromber, it's a wee bit tricky to try to imagine exactly what you are after. But if you were after replicating the use of powerpoint but done collaboratively then Collaborations will be just the thing. That can easily be converted to a PDF also.

Here are some guides for that.

Collaborations

• How do I use the Collaborations Index Page?
• How do I create a Google Docs collaboration as an instructor?
• How do I create a Google Drive collaboration as an instructor?
• How do I create a Microsoft Office 365 collaboration as an instructor?
• How do I delete a collaboration as an instructor?

Other flowchart tools that could be embedded in Canvas are:

Thank you very much for your suggestions, I will have a look. I created a html-embedded flowchart in Canvas, but it is of course directed, without any choices left for the user. It would have been interesting to create a flowchart that allows on choice of Y/N, and thus create a flow that is indivdual to the user. Thanks! // Per

Hi @stromber, it's a bit tricky to picture exactly what you have in mind. But I think I get a sense of it.

For starters a collaborative powerpoint could be created via Collaborations. This could be converted into a PDF when required.

Here are some guides for that.

• How do I create a Google Docs collaboration as an instructor?
