Canvas Pages: Overview
Not all course materials or educational content fit neatly into assignments, discussions, quizzes, or files. Canvas Pages offers a versatile space to put these kinds of materials. Pages can be a way to deliver information and content to students, create a front page to welcome students to your course, and even allow classes to work collaboratively.
