Enhancing Course Content Using Copy & Paste HTML

Using HTML code in your Canvas course allows you to add specific elements to your Canvas page which would otherwise not be available. For example, HTML code was used on the Canvas page you are reading right now to create the tabs that you see below. HTML code can also help you add things like:

Table of Contents
Pop-up Dialogue Box
Shadow Box
Horizontal Lines
Drop Down Menu
