Create a new module and sub-module
You must create a new module before you can add topics. You can also create sub-modules (modules within existing modules) to establish a deeper hierarchy.
|
Note: If your course is SCORM 2004-compliant, new modules that you create are outside the sequencing and navigation built into the SCORM package. |
To create a new module
- From your course navbar, click Content.
- In the Table of Contents panel, click Add a module .
Figure: The Add a module field of the Table of Contents page.
- Enter the name of your new module and then press Enter.
A new module is added to your Table of Contents and the module is opened for editing.
To create a sub-module
- Under Table of Contents, click a module.
- Click Add a sub-module.
Figure: The Add a sub-module field of a module.
- Enter the name of your new sub-module and then press Enter.
The sub-module is added to your module. You can upload, create, and add existing activities.
|
Tip: You can reorder modules and sub-module by clicking the icon (the eight dots) to the left of the module or sub-module name and dragging the module or sub-module to the desired location. |

Create a new topic
You can add content to a module or sub-module. This content is called a topic. Topics can contain audio-video recordings, uploaded files, text, and JavaScript all displayed in HTML.
|
Note: To enhance the security of content files that execute scripts to create extra-rich HTML experiences (such as objects that can execute JavaScript), there is a sandboxing feature that creates a secure iFrame around the HTML file. This allows an HTML file to execute scripts (such as JavaScript) within the iFrame only but will prevent them from executing outside the iframe (against the domain). This enables some flexibility in creating rich content, but reassurance for the security-conscious that end user information remains secure in all situations, such as when students in specific courses have a special role with permission to create content topics. |
