A Content Component is used to render text (in HTML) and/or videos or slides that are hosted outside of Learndot, by using embedded code. It can also have Resources added to it, which can be Digital, Link, or Virtual Machine.

Overview

Content Components can either be bundled with Courses or be purchased individually. 

Creating Content Components

Content Components are created through the Admin Dashboard by a Staff member, in two steps: Create component information and Add content (text and/or external videos) to the component.

Step 1: Create Component Information

• Navigate to Catalog > Learning Components > Content
• Click on the New button 

• Fill up the form:

• The Duration field is estimative of how long the learner will take to finish the component. It will appear on the component tile on the Learner Dashboard, on the top right corner. 

Step 2: Add Content

• You can also mix and match, having videos and texts together, by adding text and embedded codes.
