Modules, Pages, and Files

In Canvas, files are any documents, videos, images, or other files you upload to your course. Pages are individual content pages tat can be created and edited by you online; they can include any combination of text, images, and files (documents, videos, etc.). Modules allow you to organize pages, files, and all other course items (including assignments and quizzes) within a logical structure.
