1. From the edit page view, click Add To Content then click Add Block.

  2. Select Slideshow from the Add Block modal.


  3. The Add Slideshow form will appear. Complete the following steps for each slide:
    • Enter a title for the slide in the Title:* field. The Title:* field is limited to 50 characters.
      Note: The Title:* field is used to identify individual slides that have been configured in the Manage Slides section. Title:* field text is not displayed to learners.
    • Click the Select an Image:* field to add an image from the File Manager.
    • Populate the Alt Text:* field by describing the content and function of the image using as few words as possible. The Alt Text:* field may contain up to 255 characters. Alternative text is read by screen readers allowing the content and function of an image to be accessible to those with visual or certain cognitive disabilities. To learn more about alternative text visit http://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/.
    • If populated, the Caption: field's contents will display below the image (and above the slideshow counter). The caption may contain up to 500 characters.
    • If needed, a link to another web page can be added to a slide by entering a URL in the Link URL: field.
      Note: Configured links are not visible in Slideshow block slides. When the Link URL: field is configured, the entire slide serves as a link to the designated web page. The linked web page will open in a new browser tab.
    • Click the Save Slide button.

  4.  Once the required slides have been added, select the Add+ button to save the Slideshow block to the course page.


  5. The slideshow will now appear as a new block in the edit page view with the first slide displayed.


  6.  Click the Publish My Edits button to save the block and exit edit mode. The content displays as it will appear to learners.



    If a slide needs to be edited, click the slide title under Manage Slides. Make the required changes and click the Save Slide button. When slide editing is complete, click the Save✔ button to save all changes made to the Slideshow block.

    To change the order of the slides, hover the cursor over the slide titles under Manage Slides. The cursor becomes a four-headed arrow that can change the order of the slides via drag and drop. Click the Save✔ button to save any changes made to the order of the slides. 


    If a slide's Link URL: field is configured, clicking the slide will open the link in a new browser tab.
    Note: If a slide's Link URL: field is not configured, learners can mouse over slides until the cursor turns into magnifying glass and then select the image to open a zoomed view of the image in a new browser tab.
