[Rich Content Editor] Let's get things rolling with embeds

Problem statement:

Currently, it is not possible to embed a single module into a page. It's also not possible to embed a practice quiz with immediately feedback into a page. In fact, this means teachers cannot build a single landing page for a particular topic or unit. Instead, we play games with "similar" looks and use ?embed=true in lots of places. A true embed is needed.

Proposed solution:

Teachers (and designers) should be able to embed a module into a page simply from a similar menu we can choose course links. Using the embed icon, there should be the option to embed new quizzes, modules, and sections from other pages into a single Canvas page. Imagine a single landing spot for Unit 7.0 The page has the learning objectives (an embed of the learning objectives page) The page has an overview of the unit (with a read more to link to the overview page) The page has the module(s) for that particular unit. The page has an embed of the portion of the gradebook for the student so that they can see "current grade" and "unit grade" Another use case: The teacher has a page filled with content, and a new quiz is embedded at the bottom to check for understanding. There's immediate feedback for the student. Above all, embeds decrease the required number of clicks. Decreasing clicks increases engagement and decreases student confusion.
