A new page will appear, with space for a title as well as the Rich Content Editor (RCE).

In the top text box, a unique Page Title should be added.

In the Rich Content Editor, text can be typed or copied in. Other content, such as links to websites and documents or media can also be added.

Page tool interface for adding content

 

After content is added to the page, scroll down to Options. Options for editing the page [1], adding it to the student to-do list [2], or allowing the page in mastery paths [3] are available here.

Checking the boxes next to “Add to student to-do”[2] or “Allow in mastery paths”[3] will add the page in those lists.

For most pages, instructors should use the default Only teachers can edit this page. This will lock the page from being edited by anyone other than those users in the Teacher or Teaching Assistant role.
