Iframe Tool#
The iframe tool allows you to integrate ungraded exercises and tools from any Internet site into the body of your course. It places an iframe inside an HTML component, and then the exercise or tool appears inside the iframe. The iframe can include your own tools or third-party tools.
Before you make content or a tool from an external site available through your course, be sure to review the content or tool to ensure that it is accessible to people with disabilities. For example, in addition to testing the iframe components that you add to your course, you can ask third party providers to confirm that a tool is accessible, and, if available, contact your on campus accessibility support services for additional guidance. For more information, see Accessibility Best Practices for Developing Course Content.
Iframes are well-suited for tools that demonstrate a concept, but that are not graded or used to store student data. If you want to add a graded tool or exercise, add the tool as a custom JavaScript problem or an LTI component.
