General Assignment links for Canvas

It's possible to post a singular link for students to access their unique assignment on a platform such as Canvas or Blackboard. However, it does require you to insert in the most important specific details of the homework or learning module.


The template to tailor before posting on Canvas is:
Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=assignment_#######
for homework, and

Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=learningmodule_#####

for learning modules. In both cases you need to fill in the last ###### based on the assignment you are posting.ˆ

To find these numbers, go to the Instructor side of Quest and navigate to the assignment or learning module you'd like to post--look at the end of the URL and notice 1) if assignment or learning module is stated and 2) the numbers after the _ at the end

assignment example:

learning module example:

If you see assignment, use the template directly below, replacing the ##### at the end with those specific to your assignment:

Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=assignment_#######

from the example above, the link to put into canvas would then be

Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=assignment_1447851

notice how the assignment_number matches.

This is the link to post on your Canvas site.


If you see learningmodule in your Quest URL, use this template, also replacing the ##### at the end with those specific to your assignment:

Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=learningmodule_#####

From the learning module example above, the Canvas link would be:

Https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/student/instances/show?elementx=learningmodule_371215
