We have some exciting news to share - we’ve added a slew of new features in our Course Management module that will enhance the overall learning experience for students and teachers. The new, updated, and simple-to-use course builder and course player will be a powerful all-in-one solution that will help your business grow and create a distinct value proposition for your customers.
Course Builder: New features, improved usability
The course builder includes tools for creating a table of content and organizing artifacts in three levels of hierarchy. Content can now be embedded in the course from multiple sources:
- Published content and assessments from the MagicBox library
- From the authors' own system
- Using the new plugin tool in the CK editor
The Course Player is now better than ever!
The course player is the course-taking environment in which students can take the course and access all its artifacts in a structured hierarchical view.
- The new content launch setting allows the course author to choose between content launch in a new window and content launch in an embedded window (Inline course player).
- To launch the content within the course player, students can choose from the following views: Full screen, pop up, inline, side by side.
