Information (Single HTML Page)

This course element is a simple, single HTML page. You are able to implement content in such a page by means of the internal editor in OpenOLAT. It's as easy as formatting a Microsoft Word or Apple Pages document. Likewise, you can copy/paste content directly from Word or Pages into OpenOLAT, the formatting will be copied too.

What is the purpose of an information page?

Provide your learners with information relevant for the course, such as:

Important to know

Sometimes it is necessary to update the information on a course, like informing your learners that a new exercise is online. Instead of updating a page like this one, you could use the blog or the notification element of OpenOLAT. Using them, it's more likely that your learners read your news, because they can subsribe to the news feed (RSS). Please see the demo course "Communication" to get the idea.

How to create and design such a HTML page?

Simply use the internal editor for this. Otherwise, create a html page with your own software and import the file into OpenOLAT. The internal editor is an WYSIWYG-editor, but it is also possible to edit the content directly in the html view.
