Pages Module

The Pages module is useful since it's kind of like the label module but has a content as well i.e it has a Title, a description (viewable in the Course sections, along with the other modules) and content, that is viewable inside the module. The module itself is being used actively in

The idea behind the module is to make the description rich with content like images, videos, audio etc. If this module is added, we should add support for images at the minimum and add a direct link to the module on the website.

This is easier than I initially anticipated. Each Page module has a list of Contents. One of them will be an HTML file that describes the "Page". Any rich context is simply encoded using appropriate HTML tags like <img>. However, the src attrib for these tags are simply the file names, the expectation being, if all content files are downloaded and placed in the same folder, the HTML will render properly.

We can download all the content and save them to a folder for the page folder, inside the course's folder (requiring refactoring of FileManager) or maybe inside the course's folder itself (adding more clutter). A WebView can then be used to display the HTML.
