This would be very helpful for finding items "on the tip of my tongue", that is, items that I remember from, say, question 7 on quiz 4, but I can't remember if it was question 7 on quiz 4: I can only remember the keyword. It seems similar to the Course Link Validator, but even less complex??

Thank you for placing this idea on Product Radar. This will make a huge difference for teachers of non-English languages, literatures and cultures. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.

Dear Group, I am leading a group to Spain to take a class while walking along the Camino de Santiago. They will need to do numerous activities on their phones using the CANVAS web app. For these, I am assigning word-counts as the delimiter, e.g., write 150 words on X,Y, or Z. I am particularly interested in this feature for the app. It would be GREAT to have a reference to the word count for the students to see while they are typing, like Twitter, but for word instead of characters. Or perhaps there is an App workaround similar to those bxf13b suggests. Thanks! Jonathan

Hi Matt, This tip has been great. And I just realized Snagit lets me import from the clipboard, so now, I don't even need to open OneNote: just Windows S, copy to clipboard, then "New from Clipboard" (in Snagit). Have a great summer!

Hi Cynthia! For capturing the sub-menus that shut off, I have used Microsoft Onenote's capture tool, shortcut keys "Window + S". This tends to work for me. The screen shots are saved to one note, then I have to right click and save them as png files. It's not great, but works for these cases.

Hi Ted! Thanks! This is great to know. Thanks for the links to @GideonWilliams

Here is a great example of how this is done in Spain by the Royal Academy of Language: then,

Dear Group, I am interested in maximizing the use of Pages. Recently, I learned about Using jQuery without custom Javascript. The use I made of this was to place a link to a Canvas Page within the instructions of a Canvas Assignment. The link brought the student to the page. There, the student needed to carry out a number of activities. Finally, at the bottom of the canvas page was a link back to the original assignment. At this point, the student needed to submit the assignment. I am interested in learning how to make better use of pages for this type of scenario. For example, could we have a screen capture button that would allow the work done on a page to be uploaded directly into an assignment? Could this upload be automatically converted to PDF for use in Speedgrader? Currently, I use Google Docs to carry out wide variety of digital learning models. However, I get the impression that much of this could be developed around Canvas Pages and kept internal to the Canvas LMS. Here is a link to the context in which I am presenting this question, along with a video I quickly made illustrating the use. Sincerely, Jonathan

Es un desafío de siempre: escribir el mejor ensayo de su vida, pero carecer de los acentos diacríticos. Ya sabemos que existe un sinfín de rodeos que se puede emplear para aleviar esto, como el alt-164, o como el de cambiar el teclado al castellano. Incluso, no es difícil escribir una "alt-164". Sin embargo, cada semestre por lo menos unos 30% de nuestros alumnos muestran enfado por lo inconveniente que es usar los acentos. Y, eso es para el español: los alumnos que estudian otros idiomas, como el árabe o el chino: ¡cuánto más complicado!

Dear All: Here is my use case. The video is hurried and I'm no expert in Camtasia; but I am interested in your thoughts about the design. Thanks, again, to @jperkins and Deactivated user This video is currently being processed. Please try again in a few minutes. (view in My Videos)

jonathan_carlyo · ‎04-10-2016

Dear All, I have learned so much from all these great examples. Thanks for sharing and teaching and inspiring.

jonathan_carlyo · ‎04-10-2016

Jeremy. Thanks for sharing this video. I love the idea of taking a screen shot as the submission. Do you have students turn it in via an assignment link?

jonathan_carlyo · ‎04-10-2016

Hi Group! I am resubmitting this image to your consideration. Thanks, @dlyons , for your feedback. I know LaTeX is a markup language. I mentioned it as a precedent of a special rich-text button that could, in this case, allow users to insert characters from other langauges such as Japenese or Chinese (as @myanalunas mentions below), or Arabic and Russian (as is needed in my department), or phonetic symbols for my colleagues in linguistics. Also, most everyone who works with "foreign langauges" knows how to switch the keyboard, and many understand the idea of ASCII. Still, there are times when students need to take a quiz or an exam using a specific computer which may be set up differently, and for which they don't have time to learn all the nuances of the foreign language switches. Additionally, if we have Quiz Log Auditing turned on, everytime the student toggles to a new screen to cut and paste the accents, this could be recorded as "Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page...". At least in this case (and there are others), having a rich-text button for special language characters would allow students to complete their assignments without bias.

Dear Group, here is a video I made for my colleagues in Liberal Arts. Please let me know what you think, and how I can improve. I am trying to link to more the Canvas videos, professionally-made by Instructure. They're a great help (and I'm still learning how to use Camtasia). @jperkins , thanks for getting this page started.

By the way, what I also like about embedding is that one can use the same embed code for any quiz question. So, if I have a bank with all the embed codes to my google drawings, I can easily add this line of code within the html editor (anywhere, really: but for a quiz, it makes sense as way to easily remind students of the context for which the question is being posed).

jonathan_carlyo · ‎03-25-2016

Thanks for this page. I am going to link to it. I just embedded a google drawing into a Canvas Page. It's great idea to use as a button and banner. Some faculty may also just use it for data visualizing, such as mind maps or diagrams. I also hope to be able to embed data from Fusion tables.

jonathan_carlyo · ‎02-19-2016

Yes. Great idea. This would allow me to gauge which readings students are spending more time with and then compare this to the outcomes in quizzes. Thanks for suggesting it.

Hi Jordan, I've been using breevy for a few years. It's for windows; the pricing may be competitive. Costumer service is very good, too.

jonathan_carlyo · ‎02-03-2016

This is a great conversation! Thanks for the ideas!

jonathan_carlyo · ‎02-02-2016

We have begun to use this as a way to embed type-sets from languages other than English, like Japanese and Arabic. Thanks, stefaniesanders, for this post; I also learned a lot from this this InstructureCon Presentation by JR Ginex-Orinion.
