CD-ROM Tool Example HTML Code

The last step in configuring the CD-ROM tool is to insert the HTML code (which will open the multimedia file) onto the appropriate course content page. To do so, click Course Content on the Homepage, then click on the title of the course content page on which you want to create a link to the multimedia files. Next, click Edit on the Page toolbar. The Page Content Editor opens. Type the appropriate HTML code, ensuring that you include the path to the multimedia files and their file names, as in the examples below.

Example one is for a movie. Example two is for a sound file. You will have to modify these examples to reflect the path to the files, and the correct file names.

Example 1
