Adding content on a page (using the rich content editor)

To Rich text editor

A page is very useful when you want to write descriptions about different learning activitie,s when you want to embed videoclips and when you want to gather links to resources for a specific learning actitity in one place.

Use pages if you want to add quality in your course. By using pages you are able to move away from a course PM and instead put the content traditionally written in the Course PM on separate pages.

This makes the student´s reading of the information written in the course PM much easier, dividing the content in smaller pieces on separate pages

Working with Files

To Files

When you upload a file in Studiewebben Canvas - via modules or pages - the file is automatically placed in the Files page.

The Files page is a place where all the course's uploaded Files can be found. There you can upload files and create folders to structure the files. You can choose whether Files is visible in the course menu or not

Working with Links

To Links

By using the Rich Content Editor (which you find in almost all features in SH studyweb Canvas), you can link to both internal course pages as well as external pages. You are also able to link to parts of the course such as assignments or modules.

Notice: Always use the Link tool (described below) when linking to internal pages within the course. This way the links continue to function when you copy the course content to the new course semester.

Create Group assignments

To Groupassignment

As you may have noticed, there is an option for creating group assignments. Creating an assignment for group work is very much like how you would create one for a normal assignment. The big difference is how a group assignment is connected to a Group set (group category). You can either use an existing group set (that you have used for another assignment or discussion) or you can create a group set specifically for the group assignment you are creating.
