Activities/Learn: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

The teacher creates or modifies lessons (activities) using the edit button on the header of the activity page.

This button loads the lesson into an editor (based on tinymce).

The content editor enables the user to create or modify a lesson. The lesson

is an HTML web page. The editor (tinymce) fenables the content to be edited as

plain text. Some patience is required because the editor is going from plain text to

HTML modes character-by-character.

The editor provides a relatively standard toolbar:

The tool bar has three rows of tools divided into groups by a vertical bar '|'

The first group in the top row selects the font family: bold, italic, underline, .

The next group aligns the text: left, center, right, full (aligned both left and right).

The third group has two lists. The first lists the css classes defined in the global stylesheet.

It is not very useful in the editor. However, the second lists predefined text styles such as

'paragraph' - the default for body text and several forms for headings. Heading 1 is appropriate for a screen or activity title, heading 2 for subtitles.

In the second row, the first group selects a bulleted list (unordered) or a numbered list (ordered). The next group selects an outdent (move line left) and indent (move line right).

The next group selects undo (roll back the previous edit) or redo (undo the undo).

The last group in the second row has seven tools. These are not currently useful with the content editor.

In the first group of the third row, the first tool inserts a horizontal rule. This is used in Learn to identify a screen boundary. In the second group, the first tool selects a superscript mode. The second sets a subscript mode. The tool in the third group allows the insertion of a special character from a table of special characters.
