Keep in mind, there are a few caveats with doing it this way, namely that the SCORM Package (the complete interactive video) will be an assignment, you can't easily embed it into any random page without doing something like an iFrame which I don't recommend. If you don't see the 'SCORM' option on the left menu, then contact your Canvas rep to have it enabled.

Then, you take that zip file and upload it into Canvas via the SCORM menu, and it will put the entire interactive video into an assignment, which you can link to from anywhere within the class. If you click on that you'll see a checkbox that will ask you to produce a zip file.

To produce said zip file, you produce and share as MP4 / Smart Player and during the production wizard you'll see a 'SCORM' button. You don't need to worry about all the files and folders that you mentioned.

If you imported via the SCORM menu in Canvas, you would only upload a single zip file, and Canvas will take care of the rest. And yes, it would allow a clickable table of contents with slides / markers. I believe it ends up being an MP4 with the Camtasia Smart Player. Our goal is not to gain the reporting rather we wanted to provide lectures with a little bit of interactivity built in so students can check for themselves whether they are grasping the material as they go along. I appreciate the SCORM posts, sounds like a great solution for those who want the reporting. I'll try reporting this to our Canvas help system, I was just hoping somebody in the community already had an idea of what might be happening. What changed, Canvas? This was working a month ago, and for a couple years prior. I tried producing with different appearances of the control bar (different controller theme), but it still doesn't show up. Even the initial Play button in the middle of the screen is gone.

However, that won't help students, since they can't see the controls.

So if I click in the areas where I know the control for closed captions, pause/play, show the table of contents, etc., should be, those functions work. What's happening now is the control bar at the bottom of the presentation has disappeared. I never had to use SCORM before (we don't keep track of how students score on the self-check questions), and prefer not to add that level of complexity.Īny idea what changed, or whether there's any point in trying to produce interactive lectures for a course hosted in Canvas?Īfter more testing, I found that the interactivity has not disappeared after all (or it's back today - I'm not sure that this was the situation a few days ago).

I don't see anything in the release notes that I recognize as related to this problem, so I don't know what changed, or whether there is any point in continuing to try to produce interactive lectures.

19 update of Canvas, however, the interactivity is completely gone. html file in that folder, and everything worked fine - on PC, Mac, iOS. This had worked fine in Canvas in the past - I published the Camtasia project using an HTML5 publishing option, uploaded the entire folder of files to a folder in Canvas, linked to the. I had been using Camtasia to record & publish lectures with some interactive features - a clickable Table of Contents that students can use to jump to different slides/markers in the lecture, button to turn closed captions off or on, and, most importantly, embedded self-check questions that students have to answer before moving on. I think Hans' response captures the problem.
