3.1.1 3.1a About the Graphic Element Type field |
Local Figure/Graphic (*.gif, *jpeg, *png, etc.) - You can add any graphic that a browser can display into your course. Select this option when the graphic is on your hard drive or a hard drive on a local area network (LAN) that you can access.
Remote Graphic - Use this option when the graphic is on a different web site. This graphic is not integrated directly into the course. The student must have Internet access to the location to see the graphic. An example of a remote graphic is a stock ticker located on a financial site. In this example, since the graphic is constantly changing, it is best to leave it as a remote graphic.
Java Applet - A Java Applet is a program that can run on a student's browser. Use this option to integrate simulations into your course.
Plug-In (embed) - Voice, video, and many graphics need a plug-in to work. You can integrate any content requiring a plug-in when you choose this option.
Local Image + URL - This feature turns a local graphic into a "hot" or linked graphic. When a student clicks on a linked graphic, a new web page or web site is displayed in a separate browser window. This keeps the class sticky by leaving the current page displayed in a window. The student accesses a new location in a new browser window.
Advanced/Other (Enter/HTML) - Use this option to integrate anything that runs on the web such as any HTML or JavaScript.
