Lazy loading for module pages

[chrisream]

A wish-list item, if you will:

As not every institution's model follows the norm (mine is asynchronous with rolling enrollment), it would be nice to enable/configure lazy loading down to individual assets on a content page in a module.

I experience bog-downs in page loading because of the sheer amount of content on some pages, especially highly technical subjects.

It would be great not to have the initial page load held up by files/resources that the student won't come across until they scroll a few times down through the page. 

I have to imagine that we are not the only ones who would benefit from this development, which appears to be doable in a single HTML attribute on a page element.

Just throwing it out there. If it already is available, I'm having a hard time finding documentation and hacking away at it.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi there, @chrisream ...

For new requests or feature enhancements to the current Canvas interface, you'll want to create a new idea so that it can be later evaluated.  There are currently some revisions going on to the whole idea process, and I'll provide a link to that as well for you.  Here are some Guides for you to take a look at:

Here's the blog post about the idea process:

I hope these links will be of help to you.

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, had there been an option near the labeling when posting, I would've definitely used it. I'll head over there.
