An instance of an Engage eText web page being loaded or reloaded and viewed in a web browser linked within a Canvas course, as long as the page is recorded on a Canvas server; meaning, it is a Canvas native application. If there is a link embedded into a Canvas course which leads the user to a non-Engage eText (external) location or application (for example, Engage eText pages linked to via Pressbooks or other external content authoring software), any activity that happens outside of Canvas is not recorded or accounted for in Page Views. An Engage eText page view can be thought of as Engage eText click stream data. Data captured in Page Views (Engage eText) is displayed as page number and as a document name that an instructor or course administrator names.

An instance of any web page being loaded or reloaded in a web browser within a Canvas course, as long as the page is recorded on a Canvas server; meaning, it is a Canvas native application. If there is a link embedded into a Canvas course which leads the user to a non-Canvas (external) location or application, any activity that happens outside of Canvas is not recorded or accounted for in Canvas Page Views. A page view can be thought of as Canvas click stream data.

An instance of any Kaltura Video Platform web page being loaded or reloaded and played in a web browser linked within a Canvas course, as long as the page is recorded on a Canvas server; meaning, it is a Canvas native application. If there is a link embedded into a Canvas course which leads the user to a non-Kaltura (external) location or application (for example, Kaltura videos linked to third-party external content authoring software), any activity that happens outside of Canvas is not recorded or accounted for in Kaltura Page Views. A Kaltura page view can be thought of as Kaltura click stream data.

Pages store content and educational resources that are part of a course or group but don’t necessarily belong in an assignment. Pages can include text, video, and links to files and other course or group content. Pages can also be linked to other pages. They can also be used as a collaboration tool for course or group wikis where only specific users can have access. They are sometimes linked to from the navigation sidebar.

A scored (number or letter grade) way for Canvas course instructors to assess students' knowledge within Canvas. Quizzes may be timed or untimed.
