CP Learning Content

Last modified by Carina Enke on 16.01.2024

KB_CP.png The abbreviation CP stands for Content Package. Specifically, it refers to completed learning content (consisting of several pages) with an individual layout and its own navigation. CP learning content pages can easily be created in the learning platform and flexibly edited using a text editor.

A single CP learning content element can replace many course elements of the type Single page in a course.

Information

IMS Content Packaging is a standard for using web-based learning content on various systems. Therefore, you can also use your created CP learning content in other systems that support this format.

Content

Usage: Learners' View

Overview

The course element CP Learning Content clearly presents different learning content on individual pages, which can be structured like a book and divided into chapters. To navigate, use the course menu on the left or the buttons Next and Back in the content area.

Information

A learning resource of the type CP Learning Content is not an independent learning resource, i.e. it must be integrated into a course element CP Learning Content. Further information on independent learning resources as well as tutorials on their creation and management are provided in the section Learning resources.

Display

You can customise the following display options:

  • Display CP navigation: With this checkbox, you can determine whether the navigation of your content package will be displayed within the course navigation.
  • Content character set: The system attempts to automatically detect the character set. However, if the Automatically option does not result in the desired display, you can configure the coding of the content using a predefined character set (if there is no coding, the character set ISO-8899-1 will be used by default).
  • JavaScript character set: Allows to encode the JavaScript code using a predefined character set (the same character set will be used by default for both content and JavaScript).
