Create HTML Content in a Module

Using the Create a File option in the Content Tool allows you to create content that contains text, images, and video directly within MyCourses. This means you don’t need any additional software to create content. The Create a File option creates HTML files. 

To learn about the features of the HTML editor, please view the video below. Step-by-step instructions are also provided after the video. 

The HTML Editor offers many features that can improve the accessibility and usability of your course.

• The HTML Editor offers the Insert Quicklink feature that can be used to directly link to content or activity such as a specific quiz, discussion, or assignment. Using quicklinks provides students with in-context navigation options.  In-context navigation eliminates the ‘scavenger hunt’ experience that can occur when students must locate a quiz, discussion, or assignment by making multiple clicks.
• The Insert Stuff feature can be used to add content from third party sources such as Kaltura and Films on Demand.  This features allows you to provide context and direction to students on how to interact or use the content you are inserting. 
• The use of HTML templates can help you to ensure that your content is accessible, engaging, and mobile-friendly.

There are also templates that can assist you with adding interactive content such as accordions and tabs to your HTML files.
