This article will explain how you can add content to your board or course in Claned. We will go over the content types, what to include in the description, relevant settings and how you can rearrange the order of your content.
You may either watch this tutorial or read the instructions below.
1. Open the board you have created.
2. Click on the Content tab
3. Click on "ADD CONTENT" button
4. Select the type of content being added
Claned currently has 8 content "types" available:
Documents, weblinks, pictures, video, embedded apps, assessments, SCORM, and missing word exercise.
- For documents, pictures and SCORM select the files from your computer in the browser window that opens.
- For video content use the link provided by either YouTube or Vimeo.
- Embedded content requires an iFrame code that you can usually get from the embed link
- Assessments and missing word exercises are built in Claned
5. Title your content appropriately
Good titles are key to good learning. It's important that your titles are as informative as possible so your learners will easily find what they are looking for.
6. Add a description of the content
Descriptions should focus learners attention on the main theme or aim of the content. You can also use this space to include instructions or tips for learners when studying them, or prompt their thinking about the content by asking open-ended, leading questions. There is no character limit and you can use HTML tags to create lists and emphasis particular aspects.
7. Check your settings
- Select "Show content info when it's opened"
This setting causes a pop-up window with you content description and any instructions or guidance you've included to open when a learner accesses the content. It is a way of ensuring that all instructions are seen.
- Allow downloading this content
When you have a larger material that you may need learners to engage with all the time, this might be a useful setting. However, notice that no data will be gathered on how much this content has been used.
- Display content rating menu after completing the content
This is automatically turned on, but you may wish to turn it off for those materials that do not really need to be rated such as instructions.
8. Add a custom cover picture
If you wish, select a file from your computer as a cover image for the content, you can also skip this step and Claned will use an default picture for the content cover
9. Click on PUBLISH
This will publish the content to your board. You can always return to edit this content information by clicking the 3 dots in the upper right corner of every content block.
10. Rearrange your content by dragging and dropping
Content are added to your board in sequential order. If you want to change the order of your content, just click on the content picture or icon and drag and drop it where you want it!
Just remember that the content moves from the picture, not the whole block.
