Create a Document

On the Course Content page, you can create a document or page to present a combination of content. When students select the document title, the materials you added are all presented together on one page.

On the New Document page, use the options to add content. You can add as many text blocks and files as you want.

• Type a title. On the Course Content page, the title appears as the link students select to view the materials.
• Add text blocks. Select Add Content to open the editor. You can also paste text from a Word doc.

You can also use the editor to embed images and attach files along with your text.

• Upload from Computer and browse for or drag files from your computer,

• Upload from Cloud Storage. You can embed Microsoft365 content. Select Share in your Microsoft365 file to create a link to the file. Choose which permissions you want the user to have and select Copy Link. This copies the link to your clipboard. To embed the content, select Insert/Edit Media from Web from the editor. Paste the link in Media URL. Select Insert.

You can use your keyboard to move a document.

2. Press Enter to activate move mode.

Delete documents

You can delete a document from your course or hide it from students to preserve the information. Students cannot access hidden documents on the Course Content page.

Edit documents and media files

Based on the document element, you can move, edit, delete or download it.

Open an element's menu to access the options. Press the Move icon to move an element to a new location on the document page.

Media Viewing Options

If your browser allows media files, you add to documents display inline by default. If your browser can't display a media file inline, it appears as an attachment.

Images that display inline are embedded in a 768-pixel block at the biggest breakpoints. The closer to that size the images are, the less padding appears around them.

You can also add alternative text to describe the images you add. Alternative text is read aloud by screen readers and helps describe what some users cannot see.

You can edit the file's settings, including the display name, alternative text, and display behavior. Choose whether to insert the file as a link in the editor or embed the file directly to appear in line with other content you have added. To edit the file's alternative text or display behavior, select the file in the editor and then select the Edit Attachment icon. More on adding files, video, images, and audio
