4. Adding a page

The 'page' enables a teacher to create a web page resource using the text editor. A page can display text, images, sound, video, web links and embedded code, such as Google maps.

Advantages of using the 'page' rather than the 'file' resource is that you can add rich media content such as videos. For large amounts of content, it's recommended that a book is used rather than a page.

A page may be used

To present textual information such as a summary of the course syllabus
To embed videos, images or sound files together with some explanatory text

Adding a new page to your course

        • Click the "Add an activity or resource" link
        • Choose Page
        • In the "Adding a new page" screen that follows, give your page a name and a description (a description is optional)
        • Add your content to the Page content section

Appearance

By default the page will open within the existing window. Alternatively the page can be set to open in a pop-up window.

There is also an option to display the page description on the course page below the link to the page.

Restrict access

Like other resources and activities access can be restricted/made conditional using the settings for that particular activity.
