Welcome to the 'Page Text with Links' Template!

_____________________________________________________

Overview:

The purpose of this sample is to demonstrate what a module/unit for one of your courses might look like if you used a Content Page in Canvas that has simple text with links to module/unit content (click here for a module/unit checklist as well as a checklist for course organization guidelines). Compared to the other sample templates that are provided on this site, you will notice that there is only text with links to other content on this page. There is no embedded content (e.g., images, videos, etc.) as there are with the other formats. While embedded multimedia elements are highly recommended, and educational research supports their usage, there may be modules/units for which this is not appropriate or necessary. In these cases, you may use this sample format.
