HEIC Image Files

iPhones save photos as an HEIC file, which Canvas can't read. Students should save their photos as a JPEG

  1. Open Settings

  2. Click Camera

  3. Select Formats

  4. Click "Most Compatible" (this should be JPEG)

*You can use HEICtoJPEG.com to convert the images.

Validate Links in Your Course

As an instructor, you can verify all external links throughout your course to ensure they are valid. You can check these links using the course link validator, which searches through course content and returns invalid or unresponsive external links in both published and unpublished content.
