Flow for opening SCORM content in a new window

[CoreCrafted]

I'm trying to setup Canvas with SCORM assignments that open in a new window. Right now there's a ton of extra clicks required...

The student clicks on the assignment button -> opens a page with a link to launch the content -> opens a new window that says "Popup Blocked" with a button to launch content again -> opens a new window with the SCORM content.

Is there anyway to smooth out this process at all?

For the part where it gets blocked as a PopUp, a few possible things could be the cause. If you have a pop-up blocker running, then you may need to update it. This can often be done when the pop-up gets blocked with a setting to allow it (my blocker has "allow once" and another option to always allow. Your institution could have something running in their security. If you do not have a blocker running, talk with your tech department. They might be able to Whitelist it by monitoring your network traffic as you attempt to open it. 

The popup issue is the most likely spot where you can improve the process so that when clicked, it opens a new page and is ready to use.

Thanks for the tips.  Isn't this on the student side though? I do have a pop-up blocker running and was able to get it to allow it, but I can't set that for students coming in, other than giving them the same instructions you gave me.

It is likely on the student side and thus would require talking to your tech department.
