    Adding Content
    Learn You can add content to your course in many ways:

    1. Composing a Text Page - a text page is a simple plain text page with very little formatting. You can add paragraphs and whitespace, but that's about it.
    A text page would be a good suggestion for your project summary.

    2. Labels - add additional text or graphics to the front page of your course. Labels can be used to:

    • add banners to courses.
    • label sections.
    • provide quick instructions and descriptions.

    3. Adding a video - follow directions for uploading a file (see section below entitled, "Notification Page").
