Hide Next button on an Assignment?

[MikeBrinkman]

I have a course that uses a single web page. The web page links to a quiz, two SCORM module assignments, and then a final quiz. One of the SCORM modules contains a Next button on it that looks very similar to the Next button at the bottom of the page, and they are in close proximity to each other. This results in people often clicking the wrong Next button, thereby skipping the rest of the content in the SCORM module.

I've tried using Javascript in the theme to hide the offending next button, but when I do that, I get an "Authentication Failed" error on the page, and additionally the next button isn't hidden. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just to clarify, are you trying to hide the Next button that's part of the Canvas page, or the Next button that's part of the SCORM module?

@melodyc_lam The Canvas page. Hiding the next button in the SCORM module would prevent navigation to the next part of the module.

I tried some Javascript, and that broke the SCORM module. I also tried inserting some CSS into the assignment description, which did hide the next button on the Canvas page, but that promptly disappeared the next time the module loaded.

So we do some trickery in our theme that is very similar to what you're trying to do -- if you're using JQuery try

$('.module-sequence-footer-button--next').hide();

to hide the next button.

Thanks, I will give that a shot! Also, I think I made a mistake earlier. It appears SCORM isn't available in Beta or Test, so my previous code didn't break it. I will have to add some exception code based on the URL. We only want this applied to this particular course, not the entire instance.

The next button should be generated in Canvas only when Modules are used.  Is the course designed in a way that you could refrain from Modules usage?

[MikeBrinkman]

Not really. We're trying to enforce the order in which the students take the assignments so they don't skip the SCORM modules and just take the final exam.
