Texts in an e-learning or microlearning are almost essential. Below, we’ll explain how to add a text element.
How do I add text?
Open the e-learning or microlearning via "Content" and click on "Edit".
Select the learning format 'Text'.
Add a title. Based on this title, the text will be saved as a learning format in the Warehouse. You can choose to hide the title from users by clicking the eye icon next to it.
Add your text. Type or paste content to teach your users something new or explain a topic.
Optionally, add variations. Besides plain text, you can include blocks, images and tables. Click the "+" icon to the left of the text area to add one of these elements. You’ll find more information about each of these options below.
Tip!
You can add learning objectives and tags to learning formats. Learning objectives are useful for creating exams based on specific objectives. By using tags, you can easily find content in the Warehouse. As you start typing, suggestions will appear for learning objectives and tags you have previously used.
What else can I add to my text?
Text boxes
There are four different blocks you can add to your text. These blocks help highlight specific information. The available blocks are 'Caution', 'Tip', 'Quote' and 'Example'. To add a block, click the "+" icon to the left of the text area.
The default text displayed in the block is shown in the language that the user's or administrator's profile is set to.
Images
By clicking on the "+" sign to the left of the text block, you can also add images to your text. This allows you to visually support your text.
Tables
Using the "+" sign to the left of the text block, you can also add a table. By default, a table of three by three is added. With the table toolbar, you can change the size of the table and optionally give the cells a color.
