How do I view course content offline as an HTML file as an instructor?
<p>If your institution has enabled offline content, you can view your course offline as an HTML file. You can download the HTML file from the Modules page. Currently HTML files can only be generated in the browser version of Canvas and are only supported on a computer.</p> <p>HTML offline content is for offline viewing only; you cannot interact with course content directly, such as completing an assignment or viewing any submissions. In the HTML file, you can view assignment details, availability dates, and point values. Discussions and quizzes only include the description. All discussion replies (graded or ungraded) are considered submissions and must be viewed online. Additionally, you can view any embedded media files in the HTML file. If a link can only be accessed online, the link includes an external icon identifying the content as online only.</p> <p>Even if a course does not include modules, course content export packages include all course files, pages, and embedded files as long as the user has permission to view them.</p> <p>Offline downloads include all content from the course at the time of the download. You will need to download the course each time you want to view updated course content. After the initial download, the export page shows the history of each download, and the Modules page shows the last time the content was exported.</p> <p><strong>User Guidelines</strong></p> <p>When exporting course content, all users are notified that they may not reproduce or communicate any of the content in the course, including exported files, without your institution's prior written permission. Please be aware of your institution's online user agreement guidelines, which may include specific course content requirements for instructors.</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: If your course does not display the <strong>Export Course Content</strong> button, check the Course Settings page to see if offline content has been enabled. However, you may be able to allow students to export course content as an ePub file using the ePub Exporting feature option in Course Settings.</p>Manual Canvas Instructor Guide -

How do I use modules to view the progress of students in a course?
<p>Within Modules, you can view the progress of your students and see how they are progressing through the course. </p> <p>Module progress is determined by the students completing required elements in the module. If you don't set up any requirements, you won't be able to track your students' progress within each module. Required elements may include requiring the students viewing a page, submitting an assignment, or earning a minimum score on an assignment or quiz.

How do I add an external URL as a module item?
<p>You can add a URL link to your modules.</p> <p>When adding an External URL to a module, the dialog box includes an option to load the URL in a new browser tab. When this option is selected, Canvas will display the page to students outside of Canvas. If the External URL is part of a module requirement, Canvas will also register the progression so that the module footer will appear and allow the student to advance to the next module item. </p> <p>When this option is not selected, the content is embedded in an iFrame for easy viewing. However, some sites have disabled embedding and require users to open the content in a new window. Users can open the link in a new window by right-clicking the link and selecting the option to view in a new window or tab.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Numerous module items may affect performance. Modules supports up to 100 module items in the <a href="../../4152/l/102031?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="D7CD15D3-350F-473E-8639-01F74EAB4C96" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">student progress page</a>.</p>Manual Canvas Instructor Guide
