Audio Podcast

Upload an audio file (for example, a podcast). The audio can be played and tracked from the page.

All content has a title and description and can be flagged as Required or Optional.

 

Content Pages

Content pages act as folders within the Section content. They open as their own page and can contain their own resources and learning activities.



To create a content page click the 3 dots on the ‘+ Add Learning Activity’ panel and select ‘Add New Content Page’

 

You can add a title and description to your content page, and customise the icon, these will also display in the content page object within the flow of the Section. 
You can customise the content page settings so learners are forced to complete the content of the page in a linear order. You can also choose whether the Content Page title will display for learners when they are in the Content Page.
