Can I make completion of a scene be a prerequisite to move on to the next page in Canvas?
Do you have access to the theme-editor in Canvas and thus can add Javascript to the Canvas pages and trigger that with Storyline ? If so... you can set it up to hide or block the Canvas next button till students have done something with the embedded Storyline element. If not, you cannot interact with the page without Javascript.
Unfortunately I don't think i have access to the Theme Editor, but I could maybe find someone who does. Are you able to point me somewhere where I could find the necessary code?
:-) Nope i donot have code ready for this. What would be needed is some sort of communication between Canvas and Storyline. In the theme editor you need to add code to hide/block and show the next button ( probably moving the x-position of the next button out of screen works too ). Then you need to watch for a variable in Canvas to be set true. Then you show the next button.
Or just add 2 functions in Canvas 'hideNext' and 'showNext' that you then call from Storyline at will.
Codewise, both in Canvas and in Storyline i can help you. As we also use Canvas at our University i do think this is something nice to get working. I do have a Canvas Admin account with Theme Editor access, so i can do some tests on our Canvas.I am wondering if you ever figured this out. I am experiencing the same thing now. I need students to do my entire storyline scene before they can go to the next module.
