Lesson Overview
The “Lesson Overview” button presents an overview of all the
pages you have authored for the current course and depicts their relationships
as you have defined them.
Pages are arranged in a collapsible outline, according to
how you have defined their linkages. Each “cluster” contains all the pages in a
group that are linked together.
Concept: Where do my
pages go?
Most of the material that makes up
your authored pages resides in the FlexTraining database, so do not look for
lots of new HTML pages on your web server when you finish some authoring work.
The exceptions are any images you use
in your authored pages (that you created outside of FlexTraining, and that
reside in the asp/content/sections/images directory).
Keeping the authored page content in
the database keeps your directory structure simple and avoids the proliferation
of files and documents that is the hallmark of external authoring software.
Other exceptions are the multimedia
(streaming audio and video) files that occupy the pages you identify as
multimedia pages. These files MUST have already been defined as dynamic
messages (see Dynamic Messages section above) before they may be used in an
authored page.
Defining a “message” to hold these
multimedia files or addresses makes these objects re-usable and it is easier to
keep track of them.
