Lesson (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.

Purpose of a lesson page?

Instead of providing your learner with administrative and organizational information (c.f. information page), you can also use a single HTML page for learning content. Imagine this being the digital version of a book. Of course, this page goes beyond a printed page because of the possibility to integrate multimedia content like video, audio or animations. Or, if you already have your content ready (like a script as PDF or Powerpoint presentation slides), simply use such a page to describe what your learners have to do and where they find the material needed to do an exercise. Just use a file folder like this one to store additional electronic learning material.

Important to know

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.

 

You can format the text: bold, italic, underlined, colour, background colour, links etc.

You can include (numbered) lists...

... or a table...

A B C
1 3 5
2 4 6

 

... or embed pictures...

OpenOLAT

... or embed movies...

And much more...
