Pages in Canvas create a visually dynamic and editable place to present your lectures, videos, and content. If you currently have documents to direct students on what to do within your course, consider creating a page instead. Pages within Canvas are an ideal solution to presenting information for students to view.
Pages can be easily placed within modules to create an efficient and engaging interaction for students. They can also be assigned as a to-do item or made to be editable by students. The Rich Content Editor plays a large role in building Pages; to learn how to get the most out of that tool, please see our Use the Rich Content Editor tutorial.
