A table organizes information into a structured format using a set of vertical columns and rows. A good table communicates information in a concise, easy-to-understand way.
However, tables can be difficult to edit in D2L. Consider if there are alternative ways to display the information before using a table.
Considerations
- Do: Use a table to display data sets or organize information.
