The "Link to file" course object allows for a package of files to be uploaded as a zip archive. The files are automatically un-zipped and an "index file" can be selected.
The index file is the file that will be opened in the learner's browser. The learner will be presented with a link, and clicking the link will open the index file in a full-screen new window.
The object is marked complete once the learner has launched the presentation.
To add a file or file package to course:
- Navigate to the course.
- Click the "Course outline" tab.
- Select "Link to a file" from the course object dropdown.
- Click the "Add object" button.
- Click the "Save outline" button.
- Click "Edit instance."
- Click "Choose file" (or "browse") and select a file.
- Click "Upload."
- Type the index file name into the "Index file name" field. By default the server will look for index.html or index.htm. If the file to use has a different name, enter the file name (including extension).
- Click "Save."
