Becoming an editor
To become an editor for your organisation’s Off-the-Shelf licence with Kallidus, please contact your Account Manager, Customer Experience Manager or our Support Team (support@kallidus.zendesk.com).
This role is usually assigned to Learning Administrators and is not available for all learners.
If you are already an editor for our courses, you will automatically be an editor for our new mobile-ready content.
Branding
To update the branding, launch a course on your LMS and navigate down to the Admin panel at the bottom of your screen:
In the Admin panel, you’ll see the ‘Branding editor’ button. From here you can choose to add your own logo and change the primary colour to match your organisation’s brand.
Select the ‘Branding editor’ button.
Add your logo
To add your logo, select ‘Choose file’ on the logo panel and upload an image file. It will then appear throughout the course at the top right of the screen.
Change the primary colours
To change the primary colour used in the course, select ‘Pick a colour’. This will change the main colour used throughout the course for the user interface, such as buttons and progress bars.
If you are happy with your branding changes, select ‘Save branding’ and it will update all the courses on your licence. You can also ‘Cancel’, reset the primary colour to the default colour and remove or replace your logo at any time.
Adding content
Add/edit new screens
Once you launch the course on your LMS, choose ‘Add/edit new screens’ in the Admin panel at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the ‘Browse’ menu.
To start adding content, you must enable Editor mode. If you are set as an Editor on your licence, this appears as a toggle at the top of the Browse menu. Once active you will see the ‘Edit mode enabled’ message across all screens. To turn it off, deselect the toggle.
With edit mode enabled, you can select ‘Add screen’ or ‘Add screen at start’ where you’d like to insert your content. You cannot edit any pre-existing content.
This will bring up the following popup window where you can add a title, duration, read confirmation and choose a screen type:
From the Browse menu, you can also edit screens you have added previously or delete them.
Read confirmation
If you require a read confirmation from your learners, tick the checkbox. You can also edit the confirmation text. Keep this blank if you are happy with the standard text.
A learner must tick the read confirmation tick box to be able to move on to the next page of the course.
Screen types
There are three screen types to choose from:
1. Text
2. Upload file
3. URL
Screen type: Text
This will allow you to use a basic text editor with formatting to insert text, links or images as you wish. Images added here must be via an URL.
Once you are happy with your text, you can ‘Save’ your screen or ‘Preview’ to see it within the course. You can also ‘Delete’ if you aren’t happy with it.
Screen type: Upload file
This will allow you to upload and embed a document, video or image. Select ‘Upload file’ as your screen type and then upload a file by dragging it into the box or selecting ‘browse’.
Once your file is uploaded, you can ‘Save’ your screen or ‘Preview’ to see it within the course. You can also ‘Delete’ if you aren’t happy with it.
Screen type: URL
Here you an add an URL to any media you want to embed, including websites and hosted videos (YouTube or Vimeo).
Once you’ve inserted your URL, you can ‘Save’ your screen or ‘Preview’ to see it within the course. You can also ‘Delete’ if you aren’t happy with it.
Moving edits
If you decide you’d like to move your edits to somewhere else within the course, you can do this from the ‘Browse’ menu with Edit mode enabled. Hover over the screen you’d like to move, and drag it to it’s new position.
