Below is a brief description of commonly used item, further information about the editor is available from the myLearn HTML editor page.

ATTO

ATTO is the editor in UNE myLearn. It has several features that are like those available in word processing software. At the top of the editor are buttons and tools that you can used to enhance your text. It usually appears collapsed with only the top toolbar displaying. Click the Collapse button (indicated below) to make all tools visible.

Some useful buttons are:

Full screen. The window can be easily resized by dragging the bottom right corner of the window. Alternatively, use the Full screen button to make the editor fill the window and click it again to return it to the regular size. Note: If you change to full screen, you will need to return to regular size to save your work.

Bullets, numbered lists. Use these if you want a bulleted or numbered list.

Links. Links can be pasted directly into the editor and will work but rather than pasting the link in full, you can put the link behind text such as myUNE instead of http://my.une.edu.au/. To do this, select your text in the editor that you wish to make into a link, click the 'insert/edit link' button (the left button in this image) and enter or paste your url into the Link url field.

Insert picture or media. The first button is used to insert a picture. Place the cursor where you want the picture to be located, click the first button, select 'Find or upload an image' and use the upload a file to add the image. The play button allows you to add videos from your own UNE Kaltura video library. This is often used for video assignment submission. Youtube links can also be pasted directly into the text in the body of the editor and will automatically display as a video when you post the message.
