Pages

Pages are content areas where you can add and consolidate text and materials. Think of a Word document or Google Doc with the ability to add text, videos, images, hyperlinks, LTI Apps, and links to all other content in your course. You can even link to other pages.

Create Pages – Use Headings to organize material, and Descriptive Links for hyperlinks.
