Pages
What are Pages?
Pages are containers that hold your content, such as text, video, images, weblinks, files, and more. They deliver information passively to your students since Pages don't have features to submit work, have a written discussion, or take a quiz. However, you are able to set a student to-do with a date that prompts your students in your online classroom.

Why Use Them?
Using Pages allows you to organize, chunk, and add context to your material. Pages are a great way to chunk your material into bite-size pieces regarding a specific topic, concept, or theme. You can also add context to your content (so needed in an online classroom). For example, you might provide highlights about a video you want your students to watch. Or, you might give a brief description of each article you want your students to read.
How-To
Add a Page to a Module and then add your content. Give your content context, as if you were explaining it to your students in your on-ground class.
