Page resource settings: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:05, 28 August 2020

This page explores in more detail the settings for the Page resource once you have added it to your course and also covers the Site administration settings.

General

Give the Page a name and a description if required, checking the box if you want the description to display on the course page.

Content

Add your page content here. You can use the features of the Text editor to add media, images, links and more.

Appearance

Display page name: This will display the page name in the text
Display page description: This will display the description above the Page content
Display last modified date: This can be useful if the page is regularly modified, but less useful if the page has not been updated in a long time.

If the administrator has allowed both 'open' and 'pop-up' as display options (from Administration>Site administration>Plugins>Activity modules>Page), you will have additional display settings here.

Other settings

Depending on what is enabled for your site and course, you may also need to explore Common module settings, Restrict access, Activity completion, Tags and Competencies.

Page resource capabilities

Site administration settings

The Page resource has additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Page.

Available display options

This setting allows you to add different ways the resource may be displayed on the course page.

Default values for activity settings

Here you can set the defaults for this resource. You can also choose which setting(s) to class as "Advanced". These settings will only then appear if the user clicks "Show advanced" in the settings.
