Embedding Content
Updated onArticleNote: Some browsers such as Firefox and Chrome create security restrictions for displaying non-secure content within a secure window, such as Canvas. If you visit a page in your Canvas course with an embedded iFrame that is linked to non-secure content, you may see a shield icon in the browser address bar at the top. You can choose to override the security restriction and display the content by clicking the shield icon and then choosing Disable Protection on This Page or Load unsafe script.

Canvas Course Layouts
Updated onArticle"Working together to advance the online student experience by supporting our faculty—the frontline of student success."
As part of the suite of services offered by the Alamo Colleges Online Instructional Designers, we are excited you have chosen to take advantage of the optional Canvas course layouts created to enhance the online student experience and the equally important faculty support needs.
With that in mind, our team of Instructional Designers and Senior Multimedia Specialist collaborated with instructional design experts throughout the district to develop three (3) customizable course layouts (8-, 14-, and 16-week) for each College.
The layouts will support faculty in:
- Aligning their courses to the Quality Matters course design standards
- Creating a visual experience from course-to-course and College-to-College
- Organizing their courses to support the growing number of mobile learners
Each of the 8-, 14-, and 16-week term layouts are located in your respective College's page and can be downloaded for your convenience.
The following step-by-step instructions will assist you in incorporating all or parts of each layout and in customizing them to better suit your course.

Cross-listing & Re-cross-listing
Updated onArticleCross-listing (also known as co-listing or linking) is used in Canvas to combine the enrollments (students) from two or more courses into a single Canvas course shell. Cross-listing is typically used in the following scenarios:
- The same course is taught under different names for different degrees (typical in Computer Science - for example, "Programming fundamentals I" is ITSE-1302 and COSC-1336), but the content is the same.
- There are two (or more) levels of a subject (such as Latin Cardio Dance I and II), and students are combined to meet enrollment quotas.
- An academic course has a CE equivalent with the same or similar content.
- A teacher has multiple sections of the same course (ENGL-1302-001, ENGL-1302-002), and chooses to combine them to streamline workflow.
