In this session we will:

1. Learn about what a Web Content display is.
2. Learn how to add text, images, files and youtube videos to a webcontent display.
3. Get time to create all of these things for yourselves.

A lot is covered in this session. If you forget anything, the slide show that I am using
can be found on the ICT’s in the classroom page on the Ed. Portal. Feel free to access
this at any time to help you if you get stuck.

It would be helpful, if you
a. Don’t go ahead of what I am doing.
If you do decide to go ahead on your own, please do not ask me questions as this will
only make the session unmanageable for the rest of us.

b. didn’t talk to your colleague/s while I am talking to the group as this will inevitably
cause problems. If your colleague gets stuck, ask him/her to ask me the question, and
if I can’t answer it we will get someone from the ICT to answer the question at the end
of the session.
What is a Web Content Display portlet?

   Web Content Display is a portlet for adding text, images and rich media to a page. The
   Web Content editor resembles word processing software, with buttons for formatting
   the text, as well as for adding images and links. Below is an example of a Web Content
                                        Display Portlet.


It can display:
- Text
- Links to files
- Images
- Video/Youtube
Let’s get started!

1. Turn on your computers (if you haven’t already done so).

Step 1: Go to the Education Portal by clicking on the      link on the Staff Portal.




Step 2: Login. You always use your username and password that you use to login to

5. From the list of classes, click on the class
you are going to add a Web Content Display to.

                         It doesn’t matter which class you use.




That class site will now open.
It may already have content on it, or it might be blank.

              and it will not show up anywhere on any page.

Get easier with time. Be patient and don’t be afraid to see me or the ICT team for
Help.
