Does anyone have experience with Swank Digital Campus for streaming media? If so, how do you / your faculty/ librarians like it? Does it embed easily in Canvas? Are all the films closed-captioned? Thanks! |

Thanks for helping me navigate the process of reporting these things to Instructure. I think this is a bug rather than a feature request. I will reach out to our CSM to see how best to report this unless you know of a place in the community I can report bugs. Update: I emailed our CSM and submitted a support ticket with Canvas. 🤞🏽

Hi Canvas Folks, We recently enabled the emojis in the Assignment Comments tool in our instance and are getting faculty complaints about not being able to see the text they are writing because it is being blocked by the new menu icon: If you look at the screenshot above , the opaque smiley face menu icon COVERS THE TEXT being written in the assignment comments box. Would it be possible to move the menu icon to below the textbox, so it does not block content? This seems like an obvious solution to a pretty significant design flaw. Thanks for the help!

Hi @Chris_Hofer, I believe this question was incorrectly marked as solved. The question was not how to turn off the emojis in Assignment Comments tool, but pointing out a serious design flaw in this fun new feature: If you look at the screenshot above , the opaque smiley face menu icon COVERS THE TEXT being written in the assignment comments box. We just turned this tool on at our institution and are getting faculty complaints about not being able to see the text they are writing because it is being blocked by the new menu icon. Would it be possible to move the menu icon to below the text box, so it does not block content? This seems like an obvious solution. I created a new Question about this: New Emoji Icon Location - Obscures Text in Assignment Comments

@ChristaParks Thank you for sharing!
I tried the HTML but it did not overlay the GIF.
Currently we edit GIFs in Camtasia to less than 5 seconds. But I'm looking for something we could more easily deploy at scale (ideally by default) and it seems requesting Canvas to develop this might be the most straightforward route. Most major platforms provide a pause/stop for GIFs, so perhaps it is on the roadmap. I'll do some digging on that!

Thank you for this great resource!
Hiding and revealing a GIF is a workaround, but not a common practice for GIFs. Most major platforms have a Pause/Stop button.
I wonder if this would be something we could alert Canvas to as a "bug" to fix for accessibility?

Many instructors LOVE using and creating their own GIFs as a form of instructor presence and humanizing their online courses.
However, to make animated GIFs accessible, there needs to be an option to stop or pause or stop after 5 seconds (as well as meet the requirements for flashing content).
Question: Does anyone know of any HTML code that can be added to Canvas to make GIFs able to stop/pause?
I know there are many things to be careful about using GIFs, but I'd like to have an option for providing accessible GIFs when instructionally relevant.
Reference: WCAG 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (Level A) Guideline :

Hi There.
I have a faculty member reporting the exact same issue in all of his classes and the Flipgrid course navigation is disabled. I'm wondering if it is device-specific or if there is some way students are accessing through Flipgrid instead of Canvas that we can't figure out!

@hunterjedward Did you ever get an answer or figure out a workaround for this? It appears that embedded Unsplash photos show up fine but uploaded course images do not (even with image files published).

Multiple faculty at my college are reporting the same issue. LTI integration of Canvas with some students syncing to gradebook and some not. Flipgrid course link is DISABLED. No reason why it shouldn't be working. They have also reached out to Flipgrid and not heard back. Have you found any solutions?

We use term end dates (for accreditation and privacy regulations) as well and it's a HUGE bummer that instructors can't copy/share from courses that have ended. MANY instructors will be copying from previous courses to prepare new ones. And the import tool is too complex for just copying one page, assignment, etc-- especially if you can't select the module for it to go into. Instructors have a hard time finding imported pages in ALL Pages or assignments in ALL Assignments as there is a long list to look through and they are more familiar with building in Modules at our school. This new direct share/copy tool is amazing for that reason. I really hope Instructure can enable copy/share for courses with term end dates that have passed!

We are required by law to have closed-captions on ALL videos, not just by request. We are piloting Studio now but will not recommend that it is used with YouTube videos unless instructors can follow the workaround steps (which they won't).

Truth! "My local campus administration has asked for certain things to be posted as their claim is always that people don't read their email, when in actuality they got themselves into this problem in the first place by sending too many emails."

Thanks, I knew there must be some kind of workaround! I just tested this. It looks like if you first create an assignment that is NOT external tool and add a Canvas rubric to that, then go back and change it to an external tool Flipgrid assignment you can see the rubric still in Grade book and use with Speedgrader. Yay! One thing to note is that students won't see the rubric when they are posting to the discussion board. So it would be good to summarize how they will be scored in your directions. They can access the rubric through "Grades" but not while they are submitting their response.

I agree with Shelley. It would be great if the Flipgrid sidebar link was disabled by default. If instructors want to enable it they can, but in most cases the whole reason why we are using the Canvas LTI integration is to have it sync with grade book and assignments. Also, if an instructor forgets to create a separate "grid" for each course, having that flipgrid link so visible could open the flood gates for FERPA compliance issues (e.g. they could easily access posts from other courses).
