Background: I created a graphic organizer for my students in Word. I used several text boxes for questions with space for students to enter answers. I embed the document into my Canvas assignment.
1. I checked the assignment in Teacher mode and found that it looks like the text boxes are being treated as images when embedded into the Canvas course. You can resize the "image" of the text box, but it is acting like an image, not a editable text box.
2. If I go to edit in the desktop app mode, everything is back to normal and works fine. Now, many will say then, "Just tell them to do that." That is a problem because it becomes a waste of time for myself and my students to embed the document since it doesn't operate the way it should and then have to edit it in the Client app. Also, some students work off of tablets and phones without access to a laptop with Office installed.
3. All browsers are up to date on students side. All are using either Chrome or Firefox.
If you have to use Word, do not embed the file into a Canvas page, Create a new assignment, provide a link to the file and have your students download and fill out the forms and then upload. see if that makes difference.
I am looking for the why this problem is happening and what solutions Canvas can implement to correct it. This is an issue that affects a whole system of embedding into Canvas. Canvas needs to explain this issue and offer either an admission of, "This is a known issue" or "We know it is an issue and we are working to fix it." or "Here is our solution." If they can't fix the problem they should admit that true interactive embedding for Office documents comes with some caveats.
Once again thank you for the work around, but I'm looking for the why this is happening and how Canvas can fix it.
When you say that you are embedding the Word document into your assignment, are you doing that similar to what is described in How do I insert course files into the Rich Content... - Canvas Community? If I am reading your question correctly, it basically sounds like you are providing your students a template or file of some kind, and they need to fill in the missing pieces...correct? You could probably do this with either the Office 365 or the Google Apps LTI integrations. The idea is that you link your document from either of these accounts, and students are able to save a copy of your document to their own O365 or Google account without modifying your document. Then, their modified document is sent to you upon submission. Here are a couple Guides for you to look through:
If you are unsure if either of these integrations have been configured in your school's Canvas environment, you will want to reach out to your school's local Canvas administrator or someone from your school's Online Learning/eLearning department to see if it has been integrated. If not, you might want to have a conversation with them to see if they would be willing to integrate it in your school's Canvas environment.
Yep, already done that. I embedded the document through my school's Office365 LTI integration. So that doesn't change anything because I'm already doing that and have had the issue of text boxes becoming graphics from the start.
We put together a furious series of organizers. as you scroll down the pages you will come to find well of 500 organizers at your disposal. Make sure that you turn on the "background" printing setting for your printer. Better yet, just make sure to Print Preview each one before you go. We wouldn't want you to waste ink or paper.
Graphic organizers are the helping hands of teachers and students in a classroom. They make learning easier, specifically at a young age. These are visual demonstrators of relationships between cause and effect, facts and opinions, and ideas.
A visual guide such as a graphic organizer allows students to be more prepared and helps educators communicate ideas to the students more effectively. The people in the education sector and other industries use graphic organizers to brainstorm ideas, make decisions, and solve problems. There are many graphic organizers used in a classroom or a workspace. The common ones and their descriptions are listed below.
These are charts used in elementary schools to introduce the concept of critical thinking to the students. It is a three-column chart in which things are characterized according to the three headings:
Story maps make reading a novel or story easier for students. There are six boxes drawn on a page in which a student must write points extracted from the novel under specific headings, i.e., characters, setting, plot, themes, conflict, and resolution. These maps increase the comprehensive skills of a student and provide a structure to his random thoughts about the story.
These are the basic charts used in every subject at the school level and in every profession. A flowchart is a graphic organizer used to frame information into a sequence. It can be used to write a process of making a product or following a recipe, or telling the events that occurred in an order.
These web maps link all the information as pointers toward a single idea. It is a perfect way of brainstorming ideas. The maps also aid in revising concepts and improving long-term memory. It is a helpful tool for students, engineers, analysts, and people of multiple professions.
Graphic organizers are text-inclusive visual learning aids that serve to summarize and organize data. This allows for clear comprehension and understanding of any relationships, concepts, or even process flows, making it an ideal choice for teachers to use.
They enable teachers to introduce new concepts, link ideas with previously acquired knowledge, and facilitate the student's learning experience by helping develop an interactive classroom setting. These organizers are pertinent in the academic journey of students of all ages, from kindergarten to university.
There are a variety of graphic organizers one might encounter in their academic journey as they cater to specific purposes of teaching, reading, writing, brainstorming, and comparing and contrasting. The most frequently used graphic charts are as follows:
One of the most commonly used graphic organizers is the sequence chart. From making a chronological order of historical events to process flows for industrial setups and note-taking to lesson planning, sequence charts aim to summarize and connect events.
These are graphical representations of two or more interlocking circles. They can help visualize word problems and facilitate students in mathematical calculations. While Venn diagrams are frequently encountered in Mathematics, they are not limited to them. Venn diagrams can show the similarities and differences between two or more ideas for abstract concepts.
These are represented by a circle in the middle containing a topic or theme surrounded by smaller-sized circles. These are pertinent for brainstorming ideas and help in the storytelling process by helping develop and realize a plot before writing. The circle in the middle serves as a topic or theme, and the surrounding circles have details of events or characters involved.
They help both teachers and students. Teachers must aim to explain and illustrate the use of each graphic organizer with a particular goal in mind so that students can learn to effectively utilize this learning aid and adapt it for their specific use.
Thanks for sharing! It is always nice to see how other teachers help their students organize their writing. I truly look forward each day to read ing your posts! You are helping me be a better teacher and a better writer. Thanks
