[Modules] Provide students with option to pin or bookmark a page in a module

[jlg65]

Students need a way to pin (or perhaps bookmark) where they are leaving off in a module so they can quickly return to that location on subsequent login.

This previously posted idea Bookmark is interesting and would seem to me to be beneficial if it could be incorporated into a solution as well. I see value in the added benefit of being able to bookmark pages you wish to return to for any reason.

There is a bookmark option in the Android Mobile App How do I bookmark content in the Canvas app on my Android device? I see benefit in applying this concept to all versions of Canvas.

Please note that I am identifying a problem but am not suggesting a specific solution. I trust the Product Management team will determine the best manner to implement a solution to the problem. I think it would be interesting for others to comment with recommendations of how this might look in the product.

I had an idea that I posted here that would highlight a user's last activity on the module screen. I imagine it looking something like this:

I love  @japarodi "s idea as well.

Another student suggestion I received recently was for the current module (with assignment due dates this week) to display (like a bookmark) when selecting modules from the course menu eliminating the need to scroll each time you return.

These different ideas to help students quickly locate where they left off or the current coursework they should be focusing on reinforce the need for functionality. Regardless of how it is determined to be programmed the function will be appreciated.

Soooo... After Biray Seitz says, "Sorry, no cigar."... then, Renee Carney says, "Well, maybe. We're giving this one a little extra voting time."

What does that mean?

Is this issue still alive? (Just this week I had a faculty member request this functionality.)

Thx for any info.

I believe this would be a good idea.  In my fully online classes, the number of pages can get quite long as I try and use different pages to chunk concepts and reduce the amount of scrolling required.  While I have not had anyone complain, I am sure that they would like to bookmark where they left off.  There is content they would have to continue to visit throughout the module (discussion questions for example), but this would be particularly beneficial in my classes for content pages.
