Adding resources

The various resources available mean that almost any kind of web content can be added to the course.

Text and media area

The text and media resource enables text and multimedia to be inserted into the course page in between links to other resources and activities. These labels are versatile and can improve the appearance of a course if used thoughtfully. A text and media area can be used to:

split up a long list of activities with a subheading or an image
display an embedded sound file or video directly on your course’s homepage
add a short description to a course section.

Note that a text and media area cannot be added to course completion tracking, so it should not be used for course content.

For further information, take a look at our frequently asked questions which may give you the support you need.
