Add new content in the library
Authors can add contents in ALM. There are two types of contents in ALM: Content and Quiz. To learn how to add contents see Add static content and Create a quiz.
Add static content
-
Select Content Library on the left pane after you log in as Author and select Add.
Alternatively, you can select Create Content from the Getting Started page.
-
In the Name field, type a name for the content that you want to upload.
-
In the Description field, type the description for the content. Make sure that the description you want to enter is meaningful. The character limit is 400 characters.
-
To add the content, select Add Content File, and upload your resource file. When you add content for multiple languages, you cannot combine static and interactive content in a single group. Either all your content in all the locales should be static, or all the content should be interactive.
If you want to replace the content, you can replace a static content with a different static content. The same applies to interactive content.
-
In the Duration field, you can optionally type the expected time a learner would spend in this module. The duration is in minutes.
If the learner marks a course as complete, we calculate the learning time based on the specified duration. If learner consumes the content in the player, then the time spent in the player gets is added to learning time spent. If the actual content time is less than the specified duration, the player displays the content time as is. No changes are made in this case.
-
In the Tags field, type the tags for the uploaded content so that your content becomes discoverable.
An author can use these tags to search for the content while adding the content to the course.
Add HTML5 file type in the content library
Authors can add HTML5 content as a .zip file to self-paced content. The .zip folder should contains an HTML file named index.html
. If there are multiple HTML files, they should all be linked, with the main file named index.html
. Learners can view the HTML5 content in the fluidic player. Author can add this HTML5 content to the self-paced module of a course and set the completion criteria. Authors can set the criteria for completing the HTML course in one of two ways:
- The learner can mark it as complete themselves.
- It will be marked as complete once they launch the course.
