📔 Brand New Cover Screen!
Today we relaunched the Lesson finish screen as the Cover screen!
The Cover screen not only serves the purpose of the old Finish screen, it can also be used at the start of a lesson or at the start of a topic. In fact, you can use it anywhere you feel you want to introduce a new idea.
Cover screen features
We've included a range of options that allow you to make these screens really stand out.
Show/Hide screen elements
There are a number of new elements included with this screen that can be turned on or off to best suit your needs. These optional elements include:
Optional time estimate: give your learners an idea of how long this section could take to complete.
Optional description: If you're using the Cover screen as a title screen, you may not need a description.
Optional button: Display a button with customisable text and navigation options. You can have your button navigate to the next screen (default), a custom URL, or another module in your course.
Alignment options
Align text left, right, or centred. Use additional image options to align images to the left, right, or as a background image.
Use animated gifs as a background image to create spectacular layouts that will delight your learners.
Background color options
When setting the background color, the text elements and button colors change dynamically so that they are readable no matter if you have a light or dark background.
What happens to my existing screens?
If you've used the old finish screen, you don't need to worry, we haven't changed the layouts — they will look exactly as you left them.
If you want to update them to the new layout, all you need to do is go to your screen in the course builder and click the 'Edit to update' button. Note, once you've changed the layout, there is no turning back. But trust us, you won't want to once you've tried it!
