Context and Preparation:

This is a Page! Pages are where you'll put content and resources that are part of your course, but don’t necessarily belong in an Assignment (or that you want to refer to in multiple Assignments). You can include text, video, and links to files; you can even make links to other Pages. Pages can be used as a collaboration tool, for a class wiki, by setting user access for each Page. Canvas keeps the entire history of a Page, so you can see how it changes over time. Read more about Pages.

Your course will include a template to build your Syllabus as a series of linked Pages, making it more accessible, mobile-friendly, and easily editable.

As you can see, Pages are quite versatile - combine text, hyperlinks, files, images, and other media in a single, accessible place.

Top-5 Checklist When Creating A Page:

Format = Readability. Copy/pasting a "wall of text" will actually discourage your students from reading. Design your text for visual engagement!
Get to the Point. Below-the-fold newspaper stories don't get read much. The further a student has to scroll down a Page, the less-read that content will be. General rule: a Page should have a "screenful" of content, and little more.
Clean, not Clutter. Avoid overloading with distractions - multi-colored fonts, flashing images, or a list of 17 readings can be overwhelming and hard to use effectively.
Think Universal. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles help ensure that your course is accessible to all students, regardless of disability. Simple steps - captioning your videos, using alt-text on images - help you meet ADA guidelines.
Connect It. Once students have read the Page, where should they go next? Why not tell them? Include a navigational cue at the bottom of your Page.

For example: "Now that you've read about the Socratic method, you're ready to join the Week 2 Discussion."
