TABLES: INFO & NOTES

Tables allow you to visually display and organize data. They help students learn by making connections between pieces of information.

Ways you can use tables in Canvas…

Create a course schedule table.
Display data that is important for students’ understanding.

Notes

Mobile - The table will include a horizontal scroll bar so that students can easily scroll right on the table.
This table is zebra striped (every other row is light gray) because this helps with comprehension and scanning the table.
The width of columns in this table will automatically adjust based on the size of the content in those columns.

The table here requires a header row, which works for the majority of tables. If you need a header column or both a header row and column, you will need to manually style your table.
