Key Takeaways

Design with the Rich Content Editor (RCE): Add images, files, record or upload multimedia content, and embed external tools like Echo360, YouTube, Khan Academy, and others.
Insert Links to Course Content: Add direct links to other Pages, Assignments, Quizzes, Announcements, Discussions, Modules or other course navigation areas by going to Insert > Link > Course Link.
Make sure it's accessible: Canvas has a built-in accessibility checker that will flag things for you to improve accessibility.
Use Pages for collaboration. Pages can work like collaborative wiki pages that students can edit, while allowing the instructor to see and curate the edits

Tips

Timesaving Tip: Create your own template for your content pages that you can quickly duplicate, then drag and drop into each module for easy editing.
Duplicate Template Pages Before Editing: Your Sandbox contains a wide variety of template pages to get you started. Tip: Duplicate the page before editing so that you can retain the original for future reference.
Copying Pages to Other Courses: It's easy to design pages in your Sandbox and then copy them to your courses when you are ready.
