Adding Dynamic and Rich Content
As instructors, we want our courses to be dynamic and rich with content, not just text, but rich media, videos, equations and more! Canvas has a simple, yet powerful, WYSIWYG editor. The Rich Content Editor is available when creating: announcements, assignments, discussions, pages, quizzes, and a syllabus. Using the Rich Content Editor, users can:

Format text

insert a math equation.

Record audio or video.

Find and embedan image from Flickr.

Upload and embed images.

Insert a table.

Paste in embedding code or input HTML directly using the HTML Editor link.

Access Configured External (LTI) Tools such as Khan Academy, YouTube, SlideShare, and Graph Builder and embed content from these sources.

Users can also easily link to course content using the Content Selector. Users can link to any file, image or page that they have created in Canvas through the Content Selector. The Content Selector is displayed in the sidebar anytime the Rich Content Editor is open. Users can also upload new course files and images through the Content Selector.
