Add Text, Images, and Tables in the Editor

The Rich Content Editor in Canvas allows you to add text, images, charts, tables, and more to Pages, Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes. However, it is important to follow accessibility best practices when you add images, tables, charts, and graphs to an online course (e.g., adding alt-text to all images, charts, graphs, and tables).

Remember that not all students have an equal ability to see images, charts, and graphs or to hear video and audio content. You can learn more about accessibility best practices for your course in our Universal Design Toolkit.

Use the step-by-step guides below to learn how to use the Rich Content Editor in Canvas.
