About the course home page

The first thing users see when they open a course is the home page. They can see it before the course starts and even before they enroll. So, it’s a great way to introduce the course and explain why they might want to take it.

The page already includes a list of lesson titles. (Users can’t open them until they are enrolled and it starts). You can customize it further with images, videos, and text.

Add a video

If you add a course video, it replaces the icon image at the top of the home page. Note that the icon image is still required because it appears in other locations around the site. The video only appears on the course home page.

...

  1. Go to the bottom of the Course Info tab.

  2. Under Video, paste a Course Video URL. It must be an MP4 video URL hosted by the JUNO team in our s3 bucket or hosted externally. At this time, you can’t directly upload videos or use a Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia, or Brightcove link.

titleInsert images

  1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the image.

  2. Open the Insert menu.

  3. Select Image.

Image Removed

To edit an image after inserting it:

  1. Select the image. You can tell it’s selected because it has a blue outline.

  2. Open the Insert menu.

  3. Select Image to open its settings.

  4. Add an Alternative Description to improve the image’s accessibility. Or resize it by changing the Width and Height.

Info

You can make the size responsive to the screen width so that the image doesn’t get cut off. Type auto into the Height field, and a percentage into the Width field. For example, 100% makes the image fill the full width of the content area, while 50% fills half. Test it out by selecting File > Preview and resizing your browser window.

To reorder images, click and drag them to a different line.

titleRemove formatting from copy/pasted text

When you copy and paste text from another text editing program or website, it sometimes brings along unwanted text formatting from its original location. There are two ways to fix this:

  • Before pasting the text, open the Edit menu and select Paste as text. A checkmark appears, indicating that the setting is turned on. Now, select Paste to paste your text, free of formatting.

  • Or after pasting text, highlight it and open the Format menu. Select Clear formatting. This doesn’t clear some types of formatting, so it may be less reliable than the first option.

The edit menu is above the text editing field, after 'File.' The paste as text option is checked.Image Removed
