Tables can effectively display complex written options or numerical information in a way that is easy to compare. When could you use a table? You can use a table to communicate a long list of items with detailed information or links associated with them. They are also useful when comparing information, or displaying numerical data. For example, you could use a table to display an office's opening times or display staff details and contact information. Things to consider You cannot add media into a table, only links and written content. Tables are basic and unresponsive and you are unable to adjust cell properties such as cell height/width, background colour or border colours. Your table styling options are limited to those offered in EdWeb 2. You can either create your table in the EdWeb 2 platform, or upload a table as a CSV.
