The book module allows to create multi-page study material in book format, with chapters and sub-chapters. The book can include multimedia content as well as text and is useful for displaying large volumes of information in sections.
A book may be used
- To display reading material for individual modules of study
- As a staff departmental handbook
- As a showcase portfolio of student work
First of all, access the Virtual Classroom and activate the editing mode in a course in which permissions are available; then, create the resource Book.
In the Appearance parameter, it is possible to choose what format to give to the chapters of the book (in case the book will have several chapters) or what style of navigation is preferred.
Once the book has been created, the page will take us to a page to add a new chapter to the book. In this case, we can only create sub-chapters once we have created the first chapter of our book.
Once the chapter has been saved, without leaving the editing mode, access the book where the first chapter that has been created can be seen. To create a new chapter or to delete, edit or hide a previously created chapter, access the table of contents. Whenever a new chapter is to be created, the table of contents must be used as a starting point.
Whenever a sub-chapter is to be added, it has to be specified on the page where the chapters are created (as long as a chapter has already been created), just below the title.
In the table of contents available in the top right corner of the edit mode screen of this resource, various parameters of our book can be edited. Chapters can even be moved or deleted.
