The Case of the Multiplying “About This Section” Nugget

We’ve had a couple cases where the About This Section nugget on the Course Home Page is duplicated and cannot be easily deleted. In working with ANGEL support, they’ve been able to cure the problem. We asked Angel support if there was any information we could forward to our faculty regarding the editing of the About This Section nugget so the duplication would not happen again. Here is what they shared:

“I'd encourage your faculty to only use the HTML toolbar to modify this area. I saw that there was some color that (had been) added and I couldn't locate a way to do that in the HTML toolbar. I believe this may have been the issue. If (course editors will) just use plain text they should be fine here.”

ANGEL Tip: More Working Space in the HTML Editor

When editing assessment questions and answers, if the HTML Editor is enabled, the text window (where you enter numbers and text) may seem to disappear or its size is too small to be functional. As you can see on the following screen capture, the answer boxes may be so small that the HTML Editor toolbar occupies all the space and the area for editing text disappears.
If this occurs, you have two choices: you can click the little triangle on the left (to close the toolbar…which may not be the desired option) or you can open the HTML Editor in a free-floating window (see the icon identified below).

Thanks to Davy Jones for this information.
