Once you have selected a chapter to add, the bottom of the
screen displays the form for adding content sections. Enter a title for this
Course Guide Chapter.
For the actual Course Guide Chapter contents, you may use
web-based content (or a word-processed document) that you have placed in the
default directory for Course Guide content, (…/guide/). Or, you may point to
any other location on your Intranet or the Internet. Use the "Show
Files" link to open a window displaying all files in the appropriate
content area. Click on the content link to automatically load it in the content
input box.
If using your default content directory (…/guide/), you may
add subdirectories below it on your server to hold images, video, audio or
other web pages. In fact, each location referenced as a course content section
may be a complex web site with its own navigation and various content formats.
Once you have entered the title and content location, click
the “Use URL as entered above” button to save this information. The system will
locate the content and display it in the lower section of the screen
immediately.
If you see an “Error 404 – Not Found” message, you have
incorrectly specified the location of the material for this Course Guide
Chapter. A link just above the content display window lets you delete the
definition for this section and begin again.
After you are finished with all chapters, you may return at
any time to delete and add sections as you wish, even if classes are already
being taught based on this course.
You may mix and match these definition methods as you
wish. For example, if your guide has 80
sections, five may be files that were already placed in the default Course
Guide content location (…/guide/), and the other three may be web addresses on
the Internet you wish to include in your guide.
