Adapt Learning Community: Title, body and description text

Hey,

I thought I'd post about a thought I'm currently dealing with. Currently in Adapt we have a page layout of the following:

page

==> article

==> block

==> component

==> block

==> component

==> article

==> block

==> component

So a page contains multiple articles, that can contain multiple blocks. Blocks can either contain one or two components.

Components have a title and body field that is always displayed before the interactive widget. However, currently Articles and Blocks have just titles. I wondering if both Articles and Blocks should have body fields - but probably body fields that are optional. So if a body field is not filled out in the editor then the HTML is not rendered.

This way we can build it into the core in our templates and have a solution that fits all. I quite like to hear from instructional designers too and whether they see body/description text being used on Articles and Blocks.

Thanks,

Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Yes, I agree that we should have Title and Body for both Block and Article.

I've already had to have the current standard Adapt functionality amended to ensure we could have a spanned text field which sat above two components within a block. Your approach would mean this would be possible 'out of the box'.

Thanks,

Paul
