[ARCHIVED] New update to the Canvas Linking methods

[jringle]

I think this new update is really a pain in the you-know-what. I love to link to all of my assignments, video pages, and individual items in my modules to my weekly agenda page and the old way was great. This new way of clicking on the link icon in the tool bar, then selecting "from course", then selecting what section I want to find it in, then selecting the actual link is crazy! I think this has added a few steps and is not user friendly at all. The drop down menu for the links takes up half of my screen so I can't actually see if I have the right spot selected for the link to be put in. I just think it was way better the old way than the way that Canvas thinks is better. My humble opinion and I hope others speak out about it. It was definitely the topic of conversation in the teacher's lounge and not one teacher was happy with this change.

I strongly agree.

I agreed with you

It's ironic that they got rid of the sidebar to declutter the screen, yet it makes the screen harder to see anyhow! The only good feature is that youtube videos aren't automatically thumbnails, and that only sometimes works. I hate the extra clicks.
