30-042 Integration of audio files
What you need to know
You can use the Page module to embed audio files as links in your OpenOlat course. You can find further information on the Page module at HelpCard 30-190. Please note: The audio file must be in .mp3 format.
What you need to do
- In your course, click on Course editor at the top left under Administration. The course editor opens.
- Select Insert course elements at the top and the Page element under Knowledge transfer. The module is now created in the course structure and can be moved (later if necessary) using drag & drop. Alternatively, you can use the Quick Add function in the yellow menu bar to enter the name of the desired module and insert it into your course by pressing the Enter key.
- In the Title and description tab, enter the title that should be displayed in the course structure on the left. Click on Enter extended information to enter additional learning objectives, instructions or notes for supervisors. You can also set a direct link to this course element in order to refer to the course element from outside or within the course by clicking on the text highlighted in blue and copying the existing link. Save your entries.
- In the tab Layout you can change the layout of course elements. You can add different background images to individual course elements or change the text colour. You can find out how to do this at HelpCard 10-033.
- Select the Page content tab and click on Edit page.
- Click on Add a new layout and select a layout.
- Click on Add content and on Audio.
- Select an audio that has already been uploaded or click on Add audio.
- Click Choose file and select an audio from your device.
- Enter a title for the audio in the Title text field.
- Click on Save. The audio has now been added to the page.
- Click on Back to return to the course overview.
- Click on the red X in the top right-hand corner to close the course editor. To publish the change, select the option Yes, automatically (for details on publishing, see HelpCard 10-020). All changes have now been applied in the course view that opens.
