Documentation:Embed wiki to canvas via iframe

From UBC Wiki


Overview

Currently, there is no LTI integration between Canvas and UBC Wiki. Please let us know at lt.hub@ubc.ca if you are interested in integrating UBC Wiki to Canvas so that we can learn the use cases when we develop the LTI.

Meanwhile, this documentation will show you a workaround method to embed a UBC Wiki page into a Canvas page via iframe.

Example

This is an example of a wiki page on Canvas via the iframe (workaround) method. In most cases, a scroll bar will appear beside the wiki content. This ensures all embedded wiki content is accessible.

This message box is using an invalid "type=warning" parameter and needs fixing.
