Embedding a Module!

[Richard-Miami]

How do I embed a Module in a custom page I have created?

I do not wish to embed the whole Modules page, I only wish to embed One specific Module.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

The bottom line is this: You cannot embed a Module in a custom page. Canvas doesn't work that way. It's just not possible. All of the Modules will be listed when your students click on Modules in their Course Navigation Bars. 

You could, however, provided a link to a module within a page. Teachers often do this from their Home Pages. Sometimes, they create a "button" to house the "link."

Perhaps you could explain more what you are trying to accomplish.

@Richard-Miami ...

@SusanNiemeyer is correct that embedding a single module is not possible in the current interface of Canvas...with the tools that are provided.  However, if memory serves, there is a way to embed a module using the Design Tools (DesignPLUS) software from Cidi Labs.  If I recall correctly, it actually displays a module embedded in a course page.  This is a paid product that integrates with Canvas, so if your school does not have Design Tools, you'd have to speak with your school's Canvas administrator about the possibilities of purchasing this product.  Design Tools is so much more than just a way to embed a module...it's really a full product to design course content using templates, content blocks, and other elements to give your courses a consistent look and feel.  (You can see their Gallery to get an idea of the kinds of things you can do with their product.)

I responded to another one of your threads just a short time ago, and I had a similar suggestion to what Susan has suggested here...linking to a single module from a content page in your course.

Hopefully this will be of some help to you.  Let folks in the Community know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Hi,

To link a word to a specific module in Canvas, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to your course content page.
2. Select the word you want to link and highlight it.
3. Click the link button at the top of the rich editor content.
4. In the drop-down menu that appears, select "Course link."
5. On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of Canvas-related pages, assignments, and modules.
6. Select the name of the module you want to link to.
7. When students click on the linked word, they will be taken directly to the module you have linked.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best,

Fanny
