Editable Content Pages

Did you know that you can create content pages that everyone in the class can edit? Here's how:

Create the page.

At the bottom, under Options, change Only teachers to  D4.PNG

Why would you want to do this?

Because when students contribute content and create their own learning, they "own" the content and their learning!

Here's an example:

What Caused the Vietnam War?

 

 

It looks sort of like a blog, but the students don't have to leave the course.

 

"But what if someone erases part or all of the page!?" you ask.

Fear not.

A simple call to the Canvas Help Line (210-485-0555, opt. 2 - just click Help) and they can restore your course to a date/time before the inadvertent erasure took place. (Sigh of relief.)
