Content
You can create course content either directly on atingi, using H5P or an authoring tool
There are several activities and resources from the Moodle
repository available for every course you create on atingi.
H5P allows the creation of more interactive
content using the “content bank” on atingi
You can also use adapt, articulate rise or another so-called “authoring
tool” to set up screen-size responsive, interactive course modules which
can be imported via SCORM.
atingi supports
different file formats for importing content
In the editing mode, all standard file formats can be uploaded to
a course on atingi such as DOCX, PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MOV, MP3, M4A, CSS,
XLSX
It is also possible to integrate HTML code in a course
Supported file formats that can be used within H5P are listed here
For ready-made content SCORM packages from version 1.2, IMS
or XML files can be imported to atingi
For some activities,
you might want to import existing question banks. To do so, the
following formats are accepted: Aiken Format, Blackboard, Embedded answers
(Cloze), Examview, Gift Format, Missing word Format, Moodle XML Format, WebCT
Format
General recommendations
Upload size – recommendations and limits
The general upload limit on atingi is 4GB. However, we don’t recommend
uploading such large images or videos
For mobile-friendly use, the recommended maximum file size is at 2MB
for mobile data use and 20MB for Wifi connection
For videos, it’s recommended to host them on YouTube and link
them to the course, because the video platform responds to individual internet
speed (additionally, YouTube automatically creates subtitles)
Course images should be uploaded (not linked) in size 16:9 (e.g., 447x252
pixels) and not be bigger than 1 MB - ideally less than 500KB.
Generally, we recommend uploading several small files/images/packages
instead of a single large file
Recommended browsers for using atingi
Google
Chrome and Microsoft Edge
Other browsers might display course content incorrectly (especially
Internet Explorer) or not working together smoothly with all plug-ins (e.g.,
BBB)
Recommended fonts
Especially for course certificates not all fonts work well with
different languages and writing systems
“Free serif” is confirmed to display a variety of languages
correctly (e.g., Vietnamese, Arabic, German)
For mandarin, “STSong Light” should be used
External content or
packages should be opened in a new tab/new window
This can be done via the course settings or via HTML by adding the
target=”_blank” attribute
