Overview

Pages store content and educational resources that are part of a course or group but don’t necessarily belong in an assignment. Pages can include text, video, and links to files and other course or group content. Pages can also be linked to other pages. Pages provides flexibility in how you present content to students by using Rich Content Editor.
