Organises Pages into folders in Canvas LMS
Canvas Page Folders Extension
Please see https://youtu.be/aziV_vbLRsE for instruction video
This extension allows you to create folders and sub-folders in which to organise Canvas Pages. Folders can be renamed, moved or deleted. The extension checks for updates to the pages such as renaming, creation or deletion, on a regular and customisable basis.
In an experimental feature, folder structures can also be shared between users who have the extension installed, in which case a designated page will serve as storage for the structure information and with which the users' folder info can be synced.
Please note: Presently, only Canvas spaces hosted by domains of the type
*.instructure.com/*
can use the extension, with the addition of the following:
canvas.gu.se/*
canvas.qub.ac.uk/*
canvas.wisc.edu/*
canvas.wu.ac.at/*
canvas.brown.edu/*
If you wish to have another host URL incorporated in the list of supported hosts, please write a request to [email protected].
