Code can be saved as an asset, similar to images, videos, and other media, and easily embedded in activities. It can also be attached to an activity or question as a related resource. Common applications of code assets include interactive HTML activities and custom forms for data collection.
Follow the steps below to create a code asset:
- Click the Asset Library button when in an activity's edit mode, or select Content>Assets from the main menu.
- Next, click the Create New tab at the top.
- Select Create Asset using Code and paste your code into the field.
- Click Preview to see the code-generated asset in the drawer.
- Enter a name for the new asset.
- When finished, click Save. If creating the new code asset while editing an activity, select an option to insert the asset into the content. Then, click Select.
- Insert as link - This option inserts a link inline with the content that opens in a new browser tab or window.
- Insert as resizable window - This option inserts a link that opens in a resizable window within the current activity.
- Embed with iFrame - This option inserts a resizable iFrame that is in line with the content. It can be used in book activities, questions, explanations, and more.
Below is an example of an acknowledgment form inserted using a code asset.
IMPORTANT: When using code assets for forms or data collection, it is strongly recommended that you use either the Embed with iFrame option or the Insert as a resizable window option to ensure proper functionality and that data is returned back to Acadio.
