Cannot open the Realize assignment in Canvas or Schoology
When you open a Realize assignment inside of your LMS, you may get an error. You may get the Savvas login page or the assignment may never load and the Realize assignment is blank as seen below:
This is likely caused by your browser blocking third party cookies. When you are opening a Realize assignment within your LMS course your browser may be blocking you from accessing the Savvas content which is in an iFrame.
To fix this issue, you need to change your privacy settings in your browser. Below are the directions on how to change you privacy settings for different browsers.
If you or your students cannot change the browser settings, the other option is to set the assignment to open in a new tab as shown at the end of this page.
How to resolve this issue
Chrome
For Chrome you may experience the issue of not being able to open the content in Incognito mode. You will need to turn off "Block third=party cookies in Incognito." Instead you will want to turn on "Allow all cookies." To get to this setting page follow the Google's help page.
Firefox
In Firefox you will need to allow third party cookies. We also recommend you turn off Enhanced Settings.
Allowing third party cookies

Alternative option for Canvas: Open assignments in a new window
You can also avoid any issues opening content within Canvas by simply having Savvas items open in a new window. This will eliminate the issue.
Simply go to the edit assignment screen and select "Load This Tool In A New Tab."
When a student opens the assignment in Canvas they will see the Load Assignment button which will open a new browser tab.
