Hi Steve, Had a quick play -- specifically to test whether Canvas supports WikiEducator's iframe feature <http://wikieducator.org/Help:Links>.
Wow - -just a few clicks and WikiEducator tutorial content is easily embedded in the Canvas LMS, see: http://canvas.instructure.com/courses/26200/wiki/getting-started (As in the case of other LMSs as well -- see for example<http://wikieducator.org/OERF:WikiEducator_remix_experiments> ) Canvas has implemented Creative Commons licensing tags and it is a simple process to apply a CC-BY-SA content license. Nice. This demonstrates the power of open content collaborations. We can work together in developing learning content which is easily integrated into the preferred LMS used at your instution.
