Page layout in Canvas refers to the way that you organize all the elements you have selected to use on a particular page of your course. These elements include: Text, color, white-space, graphics, images, video and embed content. As you build your course in Canvas it is important to think about all these elements and how they work together on your course pages to communicate course objectives in the clearest way possible.

SPACE
Give elements space and room to breath. White space allows elements to stand out that you want your students to see.

COLOR
Be sure to implement a unified color scheme that does not vary across your pages. Using multiple colors can be distracting.

TEXT

Use text to signify the hierarchy of your content.

IMAGES

Make sure there is balance between images and text. Images help offset having too much text, but they should not take the place of your content's mission.
