HTML Tips from Danielle! - Accessible Page

Why HTML?

Doing this work isn't just for fun! It's best practice to 'chunk' and visually organize content, and if we want students to be engaged, we have to be engaging.

Troubleshooting

• Some HTML content will not show in the editor! Save your work to view it!
• User markers, like hitting Enter several times, to identify places in your code where you need to paste something in the HTML Editor.
• If something breaks, compare your HTML to the original snippet. Make sure you haven't deleted any backslashes, semicolons, quotation marks, or angled brackets (< >).

Edit Existing Content

Want to edit existing content instead of starting from scratch? Check out these tips!

• Pages are the best to edit. You can view revision history and switch back to an earlier version if you break anything.
• To edit discussion and assignments, consider making a duplicate first.
• To edit quizzes, consider drafting questions in a Canvas page! Or, you can duplicate a quiz by exporting and re-importing!

Create a Style Guide!

If you have a customized code snippet you'll use regularly, like a colored text box with a border, instead of having to find and modify that code every time you use it, keep it in a Word file or Google Doc to copy and paste later!
