How to add an audio MP3 file to the text of a lesson?
HOW DOES THE AUDIO PLAYER LOOK LIKE?
When writing a lesson to learn a language, it is cool, for example, to be able to add, next to a word, a small MP3 player to hear the pronunciation of that word.
Better an example than a long explanation:
Alligator
HOW TO INSERT AN AUDIO FILE INTO YOUR LESSON
Follow the steps below:
- 1. Click on the EDIT > Edit Source button at the top right corner of your lesson page.
- 2. Click the small green button:
- 3. Select one (or several) sound file(s) from your computer. Possible extensions: .mp3 / .ogg / .wav
- 4. Click the Upload this file link and wait for the file(s) to upload
- 5. Click the Insert Link link
- 6. The code will be inserted automatically into the page
- 7. Cut and Paste the code wherever you want the audio file player to appear in the page (still using the Edit Source editor)
PLease note:
- It is not yet possible to add a file directely with the Action > Edit button (Visual Editor), you have to use the Code Editor (Action > Edit Source).
- You can add several sound files at once. Just select several files from your computer (step 3 above)
ADD THE CODE IN THE PAGE (Edit Source Page)
If the name of your file is test.mp3, you have to type the following code:
<player>test.mp3</player>
Still inside the Edit Code page, type this code into the page and click on Save Changes.
