Pages within Canvas create a visually dynamic and editable place to present your lectures, videos, and content without losing any important context. Pages can be easily placed within modules to create an efficient movement for students from topic to topic. They can also be assigned as a to-do item for students.
Typically, pages are static on the student’s end, allowing them to view the page and respond, but not edit. Canvas has, however, included an option for allowing students to edit a page, which could be useful in facilitating collaborative work in your course.
