In this article you will find information about:
What is the Editor?
With the Brightspace HTML Editor, it is possible to add different types of content to the course, such as text and images, video and audio files, quicklinks, URLs, formulas, and HTML code.
The Brightspace HTML Editor is similar to a large text box, with different formatting options in the toolbar. This editor can be found in several activities, such as Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions and Surveys. For example, the HTML Editor can be used to add instructions or descriptions to an activity.
Moreover, text or files can be added to a (sub)module using the HTML Editor.
When adding a media file or an URL, a link to this content will be created, instead of a physical copy. Meaning,
- the content added will not be saved in the HTML Editor. This content (for example an image or an audio file) should be saved somewhere else (internally or externally)
- the HTML Editor will not display the added content properly from the moment that the content is deleted from the place it was saved
