The editor has the same functionalities throughout Brightspace, except when you open it by clicking Create New followed by HTML Document . Here you will have the additional option Select Template. This option allows you to add a template that will automatically create a layout for a new topic or file. To do this, you can use one of the standard Brightspace templates, or you can choose a file you have created previously.
Templates make it easier to reuse layouts or structured content that you will need repeatedly throughout the course. This way you will only have to create one layout, which you can then use in different (sub)modules in your course.
Design a HTML- page
- Navigate to Content in the navbar of your course.
- Click the desired (sub)module.
