Using Rich Text Editor
The rich text editor is included with the eXelearning software. Using the rich text editor you enter your content as you would if you were using any standard word processing type application. Formatting of your content at this stage is relatively simple and the editing toolbar located above each editable frame provides some basic formatting, searching and linking functionality.
With this tool you can arrange many operations like to insert a picture, a video, a link etc. Anyway, for multiemdia files there are also specific iDevices and more information are provided in the course number 5.
