How to open IMSCC file?
The most common problem when using Canvas Exported Course is that a specific IMSCC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IMSCC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMSCC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Canvas by Instructure
In this case, you should first verify that the Canvas by Instructure application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Canvas by Instructure into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IMSCC files.
Programs to open IMSCC file
Remember to download programs supporting IMSCC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Canvas by Instructure with IMSCC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IMSCC file to open in the Canvas by Instructure application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IMSCC file with the Canvas by Instructure application.
Step 3. Update Canvas by Instructure to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Canvas by Instructure program, it is possible that Canvas Exported Course requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Instructure website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMSCC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IMSCC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IMSCC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IMSCC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of IMSCC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IMSCC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Instructure, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IMSCC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IMSCC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IMSCC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
