OLX Course Building Blocks
|
|
###############################
|
|
|
|
Before you begin building OLX, you should understand the
|
|
building blocks of an edX course. See:
|
|
|
|
* `Courseware`_
|
|
* `Supplemental Course Content`_
|
|
* `Course Policies`_

Courseware
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
Courseware is the main content of your course and consists mainly of lessons
|
|
and assessments. The following list describes how courseware is organized in
|
|
OLX:
|
|
|
|
* Course chapters are at the top level of your course and typically
|
|
represent a time period. In Studio, chapters are called *sections*.
|
|
|
|
* A section contains one or more children which correspond to
|
|
top-level pages in the course. In Studio, these are called 'subsections' and
|
|
are currently restricted to ``sequential`` elements at this
|
|
level. OLX supports any XBlock at this level.
|
|
|
|
* Courses are composed of structural elements, such as ``sequential``
|
|
and ``vertical``, and leaf-nodes or content elements, such as
|
|
``html`` or ``problem``. Studio has a fixed hierarchy where children
|
|
of ``sequential`` elements are ``vertical`` elements (called units),
|
|
and children of ``vertical`` elements are leaf elements (called modules).

Supplemental Course Content
|
|
****************************
|
|
|
|
In addition to the courseware described above, you course can contain
|
|
supplemental content, such as textbooks, custom pages, and files. The
|
|
following list describes the types of supported content:
|
|
|
|
* Course about pages appear in the course list for prospective students and are
|
|
used to market your course. For more information, see :ref:`The Course About
|
|
Pages`.
|
|
|
|
* Course assets are any supplemental files you use in your course, such as a
|
|
syllabus as a PDF file or an image that appears in an HTML component. For
|
|
more information, see :ref:`Course Assets`.
|
|
|
|
* Course pages are custom pages that you can have appear in the top navigation
|
|
menu of your course. For more information, see :ref:`Course Pages`.
|
|
|
|
****************************
|
|
Course Policies
|
|
****************************
|
|
|
|
Course policies determine how your course functions. For example, policies
|
|
control grading and content experiments. For more information, see
|
|
:ref:`Policies`.
