Lesson

Doug "... what I want to happen is that students should read this entire page, plus the linked media, and then they can click on a button that takes them to another page, with its own, different, linked media popup..."

A.- What you want is not possible. There can only be one "linked media" popup window per lesson. This is clearly stated on the Lesson settings page, in the "Pop-up to file or web page" element online help:

Pop-up to file or web page

To include a pop-up window at the beginning of a lesson, choose the appropriate file to display. Every lesson page will include a link to re-open the pop-up if necessary.

B.- There are different solutions to your problem. The easiest one would be to split up your material and create as many different "Lesson" instances as necessary, each with its own PDF pop-up window. Then you could use the "conditional access" feature to enable access of Lesson 02 upon completion of Lesson 01, enable access of Lesson 03 upon completion of Lesson 02 etc.

C.- If this is not practical, and you do want all your material in one lesson only, then you can place in the text of your Lesson page a link which will open a new window containing a PDF document (or any kind of media). This is similar to what you wanted to achieve with the Lesson pop-up window, but will work from within a Lesson page individually.

Here is a step-to-step "how-to".

1.- In your Lesson, create a Content Page, e.g. page 01 and enter the text you want to display to the student. Then enter some instructions re the PDF document download and select a few words. Then click on the Insert/Edit link button.

2.- In the Insert/Edit link pop-up window, go to the Popup tab and enter the various parameters, including of course the Popup URL. The Popup URL can point to an existing file in your teacher's so-called "Private files", or a file that you want to upload from your computer, or a file that resides on one of the Repositories that an Admin has set up on your Moodle site, or somewhere "in the cloud"...

Note.- If you want all subsequent PDF docs to open in the same pop-up window, i.e. to have their contents replace the contents of the current pop-up window, you need to enter the same name (exacly) in the Window name field, for all the pop-up windows you create in your Lesson's content pages.

Click Insert.

3.- Enter some text, e.g. "Continue" and Jump to the next page etc. as usual then Save your Lesson page.

4.- When your students view your page "page 01" and click on the "click here" link that you have provided, the PDF document will be disaplayed in a pop-up window. Provided of course that the necessary Acrobat PDF plugins have been previously installed on their machines and browser.

Hope this helps,

Joseph
