This is an old revision of the document!
Table of Contents
Interactivity > Documentation
A page that allows you to present content (text, images, audio, video) with form fields (e.g. text boxes, tick boxes, tables) into which learners type responses. All the content, including both the content provided and the learner responses, can be downloaded as a Word document, but you can also opt to exclude specific content from the download. In the demo below you will see there are two nested pages, each with examples of different form fields, which are available as one download after the learner has filled them in.
The Documentation page provides a “takeaway”, and an opportunity for learners to reconfigure learning content to meet their own needs, for example if they are revising for an exam, or need to edit content to upload into a portfolio.

| Property | Description | Type | Additional information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page Title | Text that appears in header of published page. | Text | |
| Page Text | Content that appears in the left pane or at the top of the page (depending on Panel width). | Text+ (Toolbar) | Use this to give the context or instructions for the task. Other content (e.g. images, audio, video) can be embedded here. |
| Introduction Text | This is for content that explains the form fields into which learners provide responses. | Text+ (Toolbar) | This content is merged with the learner responses in the downloadable Word document. |
| Show Introduction Text | {On additional page/On first page only/On all pages}. | Drop- down | The Introduction Text can be on a nested “additional page”, a page without a form field. This nested page precedes the other nested pages. |
| Show Download Button | {On last page/On additional page}. | Drop- down | If you choose On additional page here, this adds a nested page at the end, with the Download button on it. |
| Panel Width | Dimension of the right panel (which includes the Question, the Check button and the Feedback). | Drop- down | Choose from {Small/Medium/Large/Full}. Full puts all the content in one pane. Experiment with this setting to take account of dimensions of content in each panel. |
