We will focus on Pages, Labels and Books
Click on “Add Activity or Resource”
Pages
-Student sees a single, scrollable screen
-Can add text, images, audio, video, embedded code, or any combinations of these
-Useful for setting up assignments, course information or supplemental content
Labels
-Uploaded content shows up on the main page so this is used for minimal content
-Can be used to improve the appearance or richness of a course by adding text, images, multimedia (embed audio, videos, etc.) in between links
-Banners, descriptions, reminders may be used to distinguish between and highlight different areas
Books
-This is a way to layer your content (clean it up) while keeping the overall flow of your course linear
-Can have main chapters and sub-chapters
-Books can be printed entirely or by chapter
-Not interactive (SELF CONTAINED), but you CAN link to anything else within your course like quizzes, pages, lessons, etc. (so you can still use completion tracking effectively)
