Is there a way to open a webpage within Canvas, as opposed to it launching in a new tab?
We have some course pages in Google Sites and we are trying to copy over the material into Canvas. In the meantime, I figured we can at least link to the pages from within Canvas, but I want it to open in the Canvas frame.
Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, if anyone knows of a Canvas freelancer to help move course materials into Canvas, please let me know.
Thanks

Yes, you can do this either directly from the Modules - it's actually the default when you add an external URL - see How do I link to an external URL in Modules?
OR, if you want to embed your page directly in a Canvas page you can use iFrames. I'm not an expert at all (actually did it myself for the first time checking this), but it was pretty easy to do.
- I went to the security settings for my google site and allowed embedding - see the following Google Sites - Allow Site Embedding (in iframes) - Intranets, Websites, Google Sites, Apps & Office ...
- I then went to the page I wanted to add it to in Canvas, clicked the HTML editor and entered the following code: <iframe src="Google Sites URL goes here" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
- I then clicked the save button and my Google site was there and working perfectly.
