Using the Editor

TrainCaster includes a text editor to make it easy to add course content without knowing HTML. The editor works like a word processor, with similar tools and functions. You can paste content from Word, format text, add a link, or view the source code. You can also add video, audio, Flash, Flash Video, or PDF files.

To use the editor to add content to your course, click the Edit Content button in the Manage Content section of the page.
