Whenever you are editing a page, assignments, announcements, discussions & quizzes you will be presented with a rich content editor. This is the area where you will write, link and present learning materials to students.

Below is a list of all the design guidelines you should aim to use:

Main Heading - Heading 3 + Bold

Sub Headings - Heading 3 + Bold

Main text - Paragraph + Size 12

Text colour - Black (unless sensible reason to be run past LTs)

Text Aligned - Left

Text font - Canvas default

No text in tables - unless data set

No header images

Images Aligned - Right Float

Videos

Youtube must be set to small
Embedded videos must be kept at default size

Youtube App

If you want to share a YouTube video with your students, use the YouTube App in the rich content editor. This will format and display the content in a responsive way, ensure the size is 'small'

Twitter App

Incorporate a twitter account or #tag feed for students to follow or comment on

Embed Media

Upload videos through the media tool. Upload a file and watch it format responsively on the page - make sure you name the file with a text header.
