Drop Down List

[sflorence1]

Is there a way to create a Drop Down List within a module. 

I would like the students to see a drop down list in the module that allows them to click on different links. Once finished they could go back to the drop down list to find a new link?

Thank you!

This is not possible without custom programming at the account or subaccount level. Unless you're wanting to do it for the entire account, it is best to stick with the modules as they currently function so that students have a consistency in the way things operate.

There was a discussion a couple of weeks ago where I asked about adding a drop down list in the middle of the "previous" and "next" buttons that would allow people to jump to the particular item. Although it would be possible, the people involved in that discussion thought it would be a bad idea and wanted students to use the navigation that is built into Canvas (the modules page).

I know this is an old topic but the need for it came up with my faculty with their PBL cases. I am trying to bring in their existing cases that were built with ASP and Javascript.  I don't want to use a drop-down list to navigate to different pages but to easily look at information by clicking on a menu item and then it shows a list. When they click on the item on the list, it will show you medical pics or stats about the patient. You can quickly navigate up and down the list. The only way to do this at this time is to create a page with a list and then each item on the list would have to navigate to another page with the image or medical stats. I would like to create a CSS page that gives the ability to create drop-down lists. I am not sure how a CSS and Javascript file would link to a Canvas page. I appreciate any assistance on this.

I'm amazed that this isn't considered more important and should be considered 'confusing' - it's just like having a drop down menu on anything. Menus help people navigate. Long lists of content don't.
