Adding Dynamic and Rich Content

As instructors, we want our courses to be dynamic and rich with content, not just text, but rich media, videos, equations and more! Canvas has a simple, yet powerful, WYSIWYG editor. The Rich Content Editor is available when creating: announcements, assignments, discussions, pages, quizzes, and a syllabus. Using the Rich Content Editor, users can:
  • Format text
  • Create links to course content such as pages, files, quizzes, or modules, as well as link to outside content such as a webpage. 
  • insert a math equation.
  • Record audio or video.
  • Find and embed an image from Flickr.
  • Upload and embed images.
  • Insert a table.
  • Paste in embedding code or input HTML directly using the HTML Editor link Links to an external site..
