Can students use Rich Content Editor in pages?

[664755030]

Dear Canvwesers,

Help needed!

According to this document,How do I record audio using the Rich Content Editor as a student?  students can use Rich Content Editor in pages. If so, how? 

My experience seems to be that students can use Rich Content Editor in Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, but not in pages. This is kind of inconvenient.

I would like some students interactions in many of my teaching activities. They may be just a one-sentence answer to a question, or a multiple-choice question. These are not intended to be quizzes, but just teaching activities. However, it seems to me that I have to make it a quiz or assignment, not a page, in order for students to access the Rich Content Editor. 

Am I wrong?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

 @664755030 , I just tested this and yes, students can access the RCE if they are able to edit a page. Here is a student guide with information for how they can do this - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10559-421241981 

Hope this helps! Kona

Hi  @664755030 

When, as an instructor, you create a content page in Canvas you have the option to permit students to edit a page. This is why these were first called "Wiki Pages" in Canvas.  The key section of this guide How do I edit a page in a course?  shows where this setting is located.

This really is a relatively unknown feature in Canvas, but a very useful one if you want students to participate in a Wiki, and do so from within Canvas.
