eLearning courses usually consist of a series of "information topics" followed by a quiz. The information topics provide facts and explain concepts, and the quiz topics test the user's knowledge.
Here, we are going to focus on the information topics. These are regular topics, and are no different to the topics you might create for HTML help centers or PDFs. Each topic has a title and you can add paragraphs, images, notes, and other types of content as needed.
For your information topics, you can create new topics and / or reuse topics that already exist. For example, let's say you have an "Introduction to Acme 100" topic that was created for a PDF output. Rather than duplicating the same content for your eLearning course, you can reuse the same topic.
Example of an information topic. It contains text and images.
To create new eLearning topics:
-
Select the eLearning publication in the Content Manager to open its structure.
-
Select New topic.
Paligo adds a new topic. It is added to the publication structure automatically and is also added as a topic in the Content Manager.
-
Enter a name for the new topic.
-
Select Save.
Note
Alternatively, you could add a new topic in the Content Manger and then manually drag and drop it into the publication structure. To learn more, see Create a Topic.
To reuse topics that already exist in Paligo, you have to open the eLearning publication.
-
Select the eLearning publication in the Content Manager to open its structure.
-
Find the topic that you want to reuse in the eLearning. You can explore the folders manually or use the search at the bottom to find topics by name.
-
Drag and drop the topic into the structure of the publication.
-
Select Save.
You can edit new and existing information topics in the same way as other Paligo topics. For details, see About Authoring and About Reusing Content.
