As a facilitator you can embed a web page in your course. Learners in the course will then able to view the web page from the main course menu.
Note: To embed a webpage to your class, you need to first check with your account owner if this feature is enabled. Account owners can enable this feature in iQualify settings.
What can I embed?
Some of our partners are using this feature to enable facilitators to integrate regular web conferencing setups or calendars to showcase key dates, events, and tutor availability. Here are some other ideas:
A shared collage for the class using tools like Padlet.
A collaborative mind map for the course using Mindmeister.
A YouTube channel for recorded lectures.
An RSS feed for the latest relevant news.
How do I add a Web page?
Select Add to this course from the navigation menu, and choose Web page.
Add a Title, Source URL, and choose whether you want to Embed the page or simply link to it (Launch). If you opt to embed, you can specify the embed sizes as needed. Insert to save.
You will now see your resource title in the Course menu replacing the previous Add to this course icon.
Depending on whether you have chosen Embed or Launch you will either see Click to open or the web meeting tool embedded in your page.
Notes
Feature availability
The account owner for your organisation can enable or disable the option for facilitators to add LTI applications or web pages. If you do not see the option to add these as described in the article, please reach out to your account owner to discuss enabling this functionality.
Website permissions
Some websites may disallow embedding. If your embedded page is not displaying, this could be the issue. To check if embedding is disallowed, open your browser console (press F12 in Chrome and select the Console tab).
You're looking for error messages in red, particularly ones that say "Refused to display... because... sameorigin." While error descriptions may vary, if you encounter an error like this, it's likely that embedding is disallowed for that website.
Example: Embedding a calendar
In this example, we have embedded a URL for a Google Calendar into our course offering. This calendar lists all of the New Zealand-based holidays. You may also choose to embed a calendar featuring key dates, events, or tutor availability.
