This step-by-step guide can be used when wanting to add content go to the course overview
- Click on Add content
2. Choose between Add unit and Add test.
Unit is used for uploading different types of files, while test is used to create quizzes. We do not advise that you use other functions than these two. See the next two guides on how to use these two functions.
Add unit: Video, PDF file, or other types of files
This is a guide on how to add content through the unit option.
Once you have clicked Add Unit as shown in the last section, you will be taken to a unit content form.
1. Write the title of the content
In Unit name, you write the title of the content. Make sure that you include the type of file in the unit name e.g., ‘Phishing attack – video’. This is the name that users will see when taking the course.
2. How to complete it should be set to Automatic
This means that the unit will automatically be completed once the unit is opened. If you have uploaded a SCORM–file, the unit will be completed once the SCORM–file criteria are met.
This will change the preview of the form so that it will look like this:
4. Click Upload New to upload a video, PDF, or SCORM–file
These are file formats that we know work. We cannot guarantee that other types of files will work, but it is up to you if you want to try other types of formats than we recommend.
Once the file has been successfully uploaded, you will see a preview of the file in the new box Content.
5. Leave the Parent unit be and click Save.
