Creating a Page to list weekly goals and activities for students

What you're currently reading is a Page in Canvas. Pages allow you to communicate with students, for example, the weekly goals the way you might on the first day of class for the week. Online courses typically include a "Weekly Goals" page at the beginning of every module, and we encourage you to create one for your students to have a place to see what they'll need to do for the week. Pages are simple to create in Canvas. Follow the written or video instructions (or both!) below.
