Embedding Wiki via JavaScript on LMS

Embedding Wiki via JavaScript on LMS

Hi all, Emily and I tested if the Wiki embed method(Via JavaScript) works on LMS

EdX[wikitext]

  • Wiki Embed JavaScript code does not work in EdX edge - I tried to embed via HTML( Text) mode, but it makes the page all blank. The problem is due to mixed content in https:// and http:// ,and Chrome blocks the screen.

Connect[wikitext]

  • Similar to EdX, it just adds extra HTML code, and it creates blank page.

Canvas[wikitext]

JavaScript embed method[wikitext]

  • It strips off JavaScript and the code will stop working

Iframe method[wikitext]

*It works if I changed the URL of the wiki.ubc.ca to https:// instead of http://. I also tried other pages, but generally pages with http:// do not work well.

Oembed method[wikitext]

Brightspace[wikitext]

JavaScript embed method[wikitext]

  • It gives blank screen and it strips off code.

Iframe method[wikitext]

  • When I add an iframe, Brightspace will automatically block iframe saying "We blocked this for you https....:This media is from another website.Do you want to allow it?" Students can unblock the content and view the content.
  • Similar to Canvas, it is fine as long as the iframe content is in http://. Otherwise, browser will block the content.
