Course Element: Collapsible Texts
Introduction
The “Collapsible text” course element allows content to be entered in two different areas: a main title area and a content area with a WYSIWYG editor that allows text entry as in an office-type text editor. the number of drawers can be changed and you can choose between two display types: accordion or toggle.
- the accordion unfolds one item while closing the others
- The toggle unfolds the chosen item - A + or - menu makes it possible to unfold or fold everything with one click.
Its interest lies in its ability to present a fluid interface with a visually very pleasant unfolding effect, and a display optimisation when the content is long, which avoids having to scroll the display window.
It is an ergonomic facilitation element. It is a good substitute for displaying third-party documents (PDF, Word) or the Moodle page activity, and this element makes updates easier.
