Content pages: text, pictures, video, audio, notes and tables
Put plain content between your interactions, and mark words written in another language.
A content page holds plain content that students read or watch between interactions. It is never marked.
Add content
- On the Activity tab, select the content page. Its items appear in the middle as students will see them.
- Select Add content, then Text, Picture, Video, Audio, Note or Table.
- Type straight onto the page. To change an item's settings, select the small label above it; its settings open in the panel on the right.
The panel's foot moves the item up or down, makes a Duplicate, or deletes it (Delete, with Undo). The page takes you back to the page's own settings, where Name is a label for you only. Everything saves a moment after each change.
What each item needs
- Text: select words to make them bold, italic, a list or a link. Empty text is left out for students.
- Picture: a Picture address (https) or Choose from the library. Describe the picture for screen readers, or switch on Decorative if there is nothing to describe. A picture with neither stops a Publish. Choose its Width and whether students can Click to enlarge.
- Video: a Video address from YouTube, Vimeo or a video file, and a Title.
- Audio: an Audio address, a Title, and a Transcript for anyone who cannot hear it.
- Note: a highlighted box. Choose Tip, Good to know or Take care, then type its label and words on the page.
- Table: a Caption, whether The first row is the headings, and the cells. + Row and + Column add more, up to 20 rows and 8 columns.
Colours come from the activity's theme, so content pages stay plain on purpose.
Mark words in another language
When some words are in another language, mark them so a screen reader reads them in the right voice.
- Select the words in a text box.
- Select Language in the text toolbar and pick the language.
A faint dotted underline shows the marked words while you edit. Students see no change. To take the mark off, select the words and choose Not marked.
