Add a Summary

You can add a summary to a course configuration to provide learners with additional information such as contact information. Summary information can include a video, text, or both. For accessibility, you can add closed captions to the video and an audio file for the text.

In the Player, a Summary is added to the course table of contents directly before the course test, or last if there is no course test. If both a video and text is included, the video displays first, followed by the text.

To add a summary to a course configuration

  1. Click the Summary tab in the Course Configuration editor.
  2. Enter a Topic title for the text that displays on the table of contents. The maximum length of the title is 52 characters.

Summary video
