YES!! This is the problem. THANK YOU!! I had zipped the folder by compressing the folder itself which resulted in the top level folder being at the top level of the zip file, exactly as you said. The solution was to select all the files/folders inside the folder and compress those. Worked perfectly. THANK YOU!!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I get "Unsupported content package" when trying to import "Canvas course export package." I tried it again just now without renaming it as an imscc file, and just left it as a .zip. It's encouraging that you were able to get it to work. I felt sure that I've done this before with success. So maybe I'm just doing something wrong somewhere in the process.

Is it possible to delete files from inside an *.imscc file? I have an instructor who is bringing over a course from another university that is 6.75 GB, which is over our maximum 5 GB course size. I renamed the imscc file as a zip file so that I can see inside. Part of the reason the imscc file is so large is because many of the large video and pptx files are duplicated/triplicated. If I can delete those from the imscc file, then I can import the course. I tried unzipping the file, deleting some things, rezipping, renaming to imscc, and importing to Canvas, but the import failed. Is there another way? I don't think this instructor will have access to her old university's Canvas to make these deletions and re-export.

What is the current status of the accuracy of "Page Views" for a student who has accessed Canvas via the mobile app? I'm talking about the "page views csv" you can download from a user's profile. I know that in the past there were problems with accuracy when the student was accessing Canvas with the mobile app. I thought those problems were resolved, but I keep having situations where a student swears they took a quiz but Canvas doesn't show it in Quizzes or in page views, but they were using the mobile app. And I see strange things in the "page views" report for mobile app interactions such as 42 interactions all registered in the same minute including taking a quiz. I don't think that's even possible, and, to me, indicates inaccurate data from the mobile app showing up in the "page views" report. This article indicates that the timing shown in the report may not be accurate if the student used the mobile app: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-page-views-for-a-user-in-an-account/ta-p/93 For the cases in question, though, the students have reported that they took a quiz but Canvas doesn't show it.

Not to be rude, but this is a problem created by Instructure and/or your provider, not by your customers. So don't outsource checking links to your customers! Instructure people need to be checking your links and fixing them. This is causing a serious support problem at a REALLY bad time.

Chiming in that this would be a really nice (and easy to implement) feature to have. It gets really old having to download csv files and manually analyze this data. This should be a no-brainer.

Ryan, Thanks for checking into this! I reported this to Canvas last week, but since the student was on 6.3.1 and the most recent update is 6.3.4, support wanted the student to update and try again. Your input would be most helpful in getting this bug resolved!

I am working with the same instructor as on Amanda's original post. A student is having the same problem with the Student app for Android (v 6.3.1). Any word if this has been fixed in the most current version, or is slated to be fixed soon?

fbidwell · ‎05-09-2017

Ok, I got it figured out. Here's the code that worked: <div style="position: relative; width: 400px; height: 320px; z-index: 1;"> <p><img style="position: relative; z-index: -1;" src="/courses/50743/files/4996457/preview" alt="" /></p> </div> Note: I had the image and div height wrong in the original. That wasn't the problem, but that is why the height is changed.

Yes, but the most common method by far will be simply right-clicking. Lockdown browser is not currently an option. In our former LMS, the instructor was able to make a setting for the quiz to disable right-click, so that is what they are comfortable with and feel works well enough.

Thank you!

Alternatively, if there is a better way to prevent students from right-clicking an image, or dragging it to their desktop, I'm all ears.

I'm working with an instructor that has a quiz where students must view and identify images. The instructor is, of course, concerned about students simply right-clicking to do a reverse image search and get the answers, so I am working on easy methods to prevent this. So far, I've got some code worked up to place a <div> over the image that prevents students from reverse image searching or drag-dropping the image. It works well actually, except that the code is causing a lot of blank space below the image because of how Canvas is calculating how much space to allot. I'm not that great with code, so there is probably an easy solution for this. Anyone able to assist? Here is the code I'm using in the quiz question: <p><img style="position: relative; z-index: 1;" src="/courses/50743/files/4996457/preview" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></p> <div style="position: relative; top: -400px; height: 400px; width: 400px; z-index: 2;"></div>

I discovered another problem with D2L quizzes importing to Canvas. If there is an image embedded in the Quiz Introduction in D2L, the entire import will Fail in Canvas.

Hi David, I've sent detailed reports to Canvas on some of the same quiz issues, and several have been fixed. True/False should now import correctly. Questions should now be coming over with the correct point value (at least in my testing they do.) On a side note concerning D2L Content pages, they are now importing as linked to Modules with the editable Pages version, not the Files version. This does cause a problem with file packages that use an HTML file to tie everything together (e.g. Adobe Presenter) because the "Pages" version of the HTML file is used instead of the "Files" version. The Files version retains the proper linking, so it's just a matter of linking the "Files" version to Modules instead of the "Pages" version.

fbidwell · ‎06-13-2016

The three issues I mentioned above appear to have been fixed. Questions that are not in the Question Library in D2L now import with the correct point value. The D2L "Description" field imports as Quiz Instructions in Canvas. The D2L "Introduction" field imports as a "Text (No Question)" type at the top of the quiz. True/False questions now import as True/False.

fbidwell · ‎05-25-2016

Great info! Thanks Valerie. I like the recommendation to have people import only question libraries and just rebuild the quizzes. We may end up doing that for more complex quizzes. Thanks also for the info about information items. I'm working on a migrated course right now with that very problem and I had been trying to figure out where the extra point was coming from. In this case, however, the questions are worth less than 1 pt and the information item is still adding an extra hidden point. So, the problem seems to affect quizzes with non-1pt questions. Good to know!

fbidwell · ‎04-28-2016

Aside from the problem with randomization, the three big issues I've found with D2L quizzes migrating into Canvas are: Questions that are not in the Question Library in D2L import as being worth 1 pt, regardless of the point value in D2L. This happens when an instructor creates questions for a quiz from within the quiz setup page using "Add/Edit Questions", instead of creating the questions in the Question Library and then adding them to quiz. If the questions are in the Question Library, they import as being worth the correct point value. The "Introduction" and "Description" fields in D2L quiz setup do not import into Canvas. True/False questions import as Multiple Choice. The question still effectively works the same, but it should really import as a True/False question (the correct type).
