A Page in Canvas is a blank sheet that you add content to. You're looking at a page right now. You can add text, images, videos, or external links to a page.

Pages are separate from files, which are Word documents, PDFs, Powerpoints, etc--anything that is created outside of Canvas, while Pages are created inside Canvas. The Home page for this course is an example of a page that has an image and a table.

One important consideration for Pages (and Files) is how students will navigate the site to find them. Each page and file automatically is stored in the Pages and Files sections linked in the left navigation menu. You can also store pages and files in relevant Modules (as I have done for this sample course), or create a page for each day of class that has links to other pages and files.
