A

It is very easy to transfer digital content in html format into Learning Platform. Once in place the content runs immediately from its own existing links.

B

It is possible to store your entire Intranet onto the web and then make simple links from Learning Platform to make it all run - this is the preferred way to give access to Intranet data - see separate link Learning Platform and School Intranets.

C

Here we are concerned with packaging up smaller sections of an entire Intranet.

D

The basic technique simply needs you to keep all the html content inside a single top-level folder ie a folder on your desktop. This folder can have subfolders for different themes, chapters, sections, etc.

E

You need to make a zip version of the top level html folder or datg and drop the top level folder and EVERYTHING in it into the Java files upload window.

F

Then you create your course name in Learning Platform and upload the zip folder to the files store for the course.

G

HTML pages usually run from a main page called the index page - you may have called yours History Home Page or something similar. You need to take ONLY this index page of the html set onto your course Chapter 1.

H

Students clicking this single link will be taken into your existing html environment and all hyperlinks you already have should work properly.

I

It can be a 10 minute job to import this html content and have it working - dependent on the size of the folder and the speed of your local web connection.

J

If you decide to 'cut' a very large collection of html pages into smaller coherent sections, then some of the 'top level' hyperlinks will need tailoring. This can be done on a file-by-file basis within Learning Platform and individual html pages can be replaced quite easily. You will find a more detailed explanation of the process here.

K

You can then author Learning Platform quizzes or use the Collaboration tools (Chat/email/Forums) to set work which will be stored within Learning Platform.
