CD-ROM Tool

Step 3. Configure CD-ROM Tool from Designer Options:

Setting up the tool (we added it the very first step) from the Designer Options is quite easy. We will continue with our simple example. More details for courses that use multiple CDs will follow.

  1. From the Navigation Bar, click CD-ROM Tool or icon you added to your course. Remember the title may be "Select Your CD Drive". The CD-ROM Selection screen appears.


  2. CD-ROM Selection screen

  5. In the CD-ROM title textbox, enter a name that students will recognize for your CD. Note: Students will select this title when configuring their CD-ROM to point to the files under this title. There can be many titles; one for each CD you intend to use.
  6. From the CD-ROM course folder dropdown list, select the folder you created in Manage Files that contains the directory structure for your CD. In our example it would be CDROM. Notice that this list gives you the entire Manage Files sub-folder structure to choose from. Make sure the folder you select is displayed when you release the mouse button.
  7. Click Add. A table appears under the CD-ROM List displaying the CD name you just entered and the course folder structure you created in Manage Files. The CD-ROM Tool is configured from the Instructor/designer's point of view. Remember: Students must also configure the CD-ROM Tool to read from their computer's local CD-Rom drive. See, Student for those instructions when you are ready to test your example.
