A Page resource creates a webpage that displays the content created by the teacher. The text editor allows the page to display many different kinds of content such as text, images, audio, video, embedded code or a combination of all these. In certain cases it might be preferable to use the Page resource instead of uploading a word-processed document, particularly if the document contains content that is just to be read and not downloaded.

For large amounts of content, it is recommended that a book resource is used rather than a page.

Adding a Page resource #

To add a Page resource:

1. Navigate to the Courses page.
2. Click on “Edit” under Actions for the desired course.
3. This takes to Course Builder page. Ensure that the Edit mode is activated on the Course Builder page.
   
4. Navigate to the Course Section, click the ‘Add an element’ button, which opens a pop up window, add Page.
   

Page settings #

This section explores the Page settings once you have added it to your course.

General

• Name – This is a mandatory field. Put in the name as you desire for the Page.
• Description – Any details about the Page could be put in here. If “Display description on course page” is enabled, it will display the description on the course page below the page title.

Page Content

The content box is where you would put content for the page. The rich editor allows plain text, formatted text, images, weblinks, embed code, audio, videos, or even import of content from word files.

Common module settings

• Availability – If the availability is set to ‘Show on course page’, the activity or resource is available to students (subject to any access restrictions which may be set). If the availability is set to ‘Hide from students’, the activity or resource is only available to users with permission to view hidden activities (by default, users with the role of teacher or non-editing teacher).
• ID number – Setting an ID number provides a way of identifying the activity or resource for purposes such as grade calculation or custom reporting. Otherwise the field may be left blank. For gradable activities, the ID number can also be set in the gradebook, though it can only be edited on the activity settings page.
• Group mode – The group mode defined at course level is the default mode for all activities within the course. Each activity that supports groups can also define its own group mode, though if the group mode is forced at course level, the group mode setting for each activity is ignored. This setting has 3 options:
  • No groups
  • Separate groups – Each group member can only see their own group, others are invisible
  • Visible groups – Each group member works in their own group, but can also see other groups

Restrict access

The restrict access feature enables teachers to restrict the availability of any activity according to certain conditions such as dates, grade obtained, group, user profile field, time spent on a different activity, or activity completion. A complex logic can be used with nested restrictions. To know more, explore our detailed guide on access restriction.

Alternatively, an activity can be hidden from students until they are ready to be used.

Activity Completion

Activity completion allows you to set completion criteria which basically decides when to consider the activity is completed. The following options are available:

• Students can manually mark the activity completed, here you allow students to make this decision.
• Activity is considered complete when certain conditions are fulfilled, where one or more conditions can be added.
  • Student must view the activity to complete it
  • A date of expected completion of the activity

Competencies

Allows you to link competency to the activity. To know more, explore our guide on Competencies.
