Would you like to offer your learners the option to take notes in your self paced course, just as they would in a traditional classroom environment? In the Thought Industries native course authoring tool, there is a page type for that!

Use Case Information

The Note Book page type presents learners with a prompt and a text editor box in which they can type and record notes in the Notes utility (learner sidebar menu). These are for student view only and can be printed to take away from the course. This is a great option when you want your learners to be able to take notes and reflect on them privately.

  9. You can also find the following options under Advanced Settings:
    • Unlocking for editing by children? - This offers Panorama roles, who have the permission, to edit this page in your course.
    • Indentation Level -

      The Indentation Level is behind a feature flag.

      This allows for the syllabus in the course menu to be indented. When enabled, you can nest pages under each other.

    • # of seconds required for completion - Number of seconds required to mark this page as complete. If set, the learner must remain on the page (without refreshing or going to another page) for the number of seconds specified in order to be marked complete.
    • Audio Narration File - Although it is not system functionality to record audio in the platform, you can upload audio files.
  10. Click Save.

Tip

Using the WYSIWYG text box editor, you can (optionally) add an image above the text prompt. Click the image icon within the editor and drag the desired image into the field.

Note

Only the learner can view the content of the notebook page and even print their notes to take away from the course.
