Create an Assignment

Now that the MyVRSpot app is connected, when you create an assignment you can pull media from your MyVRSpot account. To do this, you will click the MyVRSpot logo in the WYSIWYG editor. Follow these steps to create an assignment using media in your MyVRSpot account:

  1. After you login to your Canvas account, begin to create a new assignment by clicking the + Assignment button.
  2. In your new assignment window, there is a full WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor with the MyVRSpot logo.
Info

Not seeing the logo? You may be using a different version of Canvas. Instead, look for an icon in the editor that looks like a plug. Click on that and select ‘All Apps’ and then choose the MyVRSpot app. In the future, it will list the MyVRSpot app on the list when you click on the plug icon so you won’t need to go into All Apps each time.

  1. Clicking on the logo will open a popup displaying all your MyVRSpot media. Click the Insert button on a piece of media to add it to your assignment.
  2.  Now you can finish creating your assignment with the media item pulled from your MyVRSpot account.
