Canvas Page Folders Add-On for Firefox
This extension allows you to create folders and sub-folders in which to organise Pages in the Canvas learning management system. Folders can be renamed, moved or deleted. The extension checks for updates to the pages such as renaming, creation or deletion, on a regular and customisable basis.
In an experimental feature, folder structures can also be shared between users who have the extension installed, in which case a designated page will serve as storage for the structure information and with which the users′ folder info can be synced.
Please note: Presently, only Canvas spaces hosted by domains of the type *.instructure.com/* can use the extension, with the addition of the following:
If you wish to have another host URL incorporated in the list of supported hosts, please write a request to oldpikesoftware@gmail.com.
The Chrome counterpart of this add-on has successfully been published at Chrome Web Store. However, the reviewers at AOM have refused to list the Firefox version on the AOM site, citing their rules against add-ons intended only for "closed user groups". To me, this appears like a very blinkered way of thinking – although Canvas is indeed only accessible to registered users, those users count in the millions if you include all students who connect to their schools/universities via the platform. But AOM has had their say, and so I will have to distribute the add-on myself. Please note however, that it is signed at AOM and will update automatically once installed (unless you have specifically blocked your Firefox browser against extension updates).
