Description
Need a way to make changes to course content in one place and have that change populate across multiple courses? The Create HTML Object function in the Content System offers an easy way to create and manage course content at scale. When a course uses Reusable HTML Objects for course content, every copied section of a given course points to the same, single instance of any given piece of content. This increases operational efficiency of instructional design/ technology departments and promotes the use of instructional design best practices and technology adoption in all courses. I will demonstrate how to create, implement, and edit HTML objects, illustrate some use cases, and point out a few “gotchas” and how to work around them. Bring a laptop so you can follow along and try this in a sandbox course shell on your own Blackboard system.
