Hello Something Plugin
In a previous post I stepped through creating a basic Adapt plugin that outputs the static text Hello World https://ianluckraft.co.uk/2020/05/adapt-learning-hello-world-plugin/ . But a plugin that only outputs some static text is possibly less than useful. In this post we’ll look at the next logical step of allowing a course builder to add some dynamic text to the output.
As a starter we will clone the Hello World plugin and then replace World with Something.

This tutorial will not go into depth about some of the code used. The idea is to give an overview of creating a basic Adapt plugin that will output some static text.
The plugin code can be downloaded from gitHub{.aioseop-link}.
The Adapt framework comes with a good selection of components to help you build your e-learning course, then added to this are the contributed plugins{.aioseop-link}. But what if there isn’t quite the thing you need?

If this is the first time starting it up the Dashboard will be blank.Click the green Add new course button in the top left.

Like most development that requires logic, whether this is created through code or a user interface, it’s best to have a plan of what you will be producing rather than diving in and ending up with a result that is hard to maintain.
Even though this elearning course is fairly simple we’ll create a storyboard to refer to throughout its creation.
For this I have used Pages and exported it as a PDF.

I’ve created a small series of blog posts showing how you can create a simple Adapt elearning course using the Adapt Authoring Tool{.aioseop-link}. These posts assume you have already installed the Authoring Tool. If you have not then please follow the very comprehensive installation instructions{.aioseop-link}.
To start off we will create a storyboard{.aioseop-link} that will guide our development of the course.
Further posts will cover
Creating the course with introductory text{.
