It can be used at any time to make changes in the educational material, add a video,\u00a0 image or\u00a0 other resource.<br \/>\nCollaborator uses several innovative technologies in its interface, and they are available for use in the resource pages. We are talking about a technology Bootstrap layout, use FontAwesome icons, animated effects by Animate.css.<br \/>\nWith their help, resource interface\u00a0 can be improved and standardized, it is easier to create a bright pages that adapt for any screen size, it is possible to revive the dry text unobtrusive animation.<br \/>\nThis requires knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Simply select the desired template from list, insert it into page and fill in your own text or pictures.<br \/>\nIn previous versions Collaborator templates were adjusted individually for each client.

Rubrics contain within them Sections and then Sections contain within them Topics for discussion.<br \/>\nHowever, for LMS Forum in such depth is not needed. The Section level for grouping Topics\u00a0 is completely sufficient to solve the learning tasks.<br \/>\nSo we redesigned the Forum and left only 2-level structure:<br \/>\nSections and within Topics.
