How do I set a minimum time limit on an assignment?

[elizabeth]

Most of the assignments that I have for my classes are in video format.  I am needing to set a minimum time limit (so students can't skip ahead without at least spending the time they are supposed to be watching the videos) in order to meet the state curriculum guidelines.  I have not been able to find that option when making an assignment.  How can I accomplish this?

Hello  @elizabeth ​, I am not aware of any functionality, work-around, or outstanding feature idea for accomplishing this. I would recommend creating a feature idea in the Canvas Feature Ideas​ space. Check out How does the voting process work for feature ideas?​ and How to write a good feature idea submission​.

One work around may be adding the assignments to modules and setting the assignments with requirements. Then each module can be configured with prerequisites. It wouldn't set a minimum time but would force students to complete the assignment before moving on. 

How do I require students to move through each Module item in order?
