Section styles: Choice between 5 styles that will affect the global rendering of the course:
Boost
Bold Notecard
Clipboard
Fancy section style
Corporate style
Boost: top border in the main theme colour - Minimal branding
Bold Notecard: Main theme colour as a rectangular background - The most visible blocks to separate the sections of your course
Clipboard: Main theme colour as a background with “clip” edges - Also very visible - Well suited to a young audience
Corporate: Thin top and bottom border in the theme colour, grey background - Polished corporate-style presentation
Note that colours, fonts and positions can be changed to your wishes through scss overrides.
Activity icon size: size in pixels of the activity and resource icons in courses - Default 32px
Custom activity thumbnail width: Sets in pixels the size of the custom thumbnail of each activity or resource. (black and grey square icon next to activities or resources)
Course thumbnail display options
Course tooltip title: If course title truncation is used, this function can be used and will display the full course title in a tooltip. Check this box to enable this option.
Add the “New” signal:
0 removes the message, otherwise it is the number of hours it is kept
The signal is global to the platform. It therefore concerns all courses and all activities/resources
It displays “New”, or “Updated” if the activity already existed and was simply modified: the activity settings, not necessarily its data content (activity settings edit mode)
Someone who has visited the added or modified resource no longer sees the signal.
Show the signal on labels: If enabled, the “New” signal is also displayed on course labels and not only on activities/resources.
Example of custom thumbnail and signal
Initial state of flexsection: All closed. This option is useful if you use the Flexsection (flexible sections) course format revised by us.
