Web Content

In addition to narrated presentations, you may choose to publish your content as formatted web pages. Using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML (HyperText Markup Language) application such as Adobe Dreamweaver, you can convert the content of your presentation or lecture into Web pages. This requires more than baseline technical skills, though, so you will benefit from technical assistance if you go this route. There are numerous formats and styles and much depends on the level of technical competence of your learners and your own preferences.

Most of these are flexible in that they allow users to expand and contract modules, include attachments and/or links, embed images, and specify open and close dates for module access. The Canvas module interface shown below is representative of most CMS content module interfaces.
