The Iframe lecture type

The Iframe lecture embeds a whole external page inside the lecture, filling the entire screen - with no header, no title, and no lecture close button. It is the most open type in the editor and the least controlled: the external page is in charge. Use it for a 3D project, a simulator, an interactive map, or any page that already has its own navigation.

Adding the lecture

In the modular content editor, click Add new lecture to this topic and choose Iframe, in the Media and integrations section of the type selector.
Choose the Action: Upload, to send a file from your computer, or Hosted file, to point to an address already published elsewhere.

Upload

Upload accepts a single .html file. If your page depends on other files (images, scripts, stylesheets), make sure they are referenced by a full address - the editor sends only the HTML file, not a whole folder. The file must be under 20 MB.

Hosted file

Paste the full address (URL) of the page you want to show. This is the more common choice for 3D projects, simulators and interactive maps, which are usually already published on another service.

Replacing or removing the file

Once uploaded or entered, the current file (or address) appears identified in the panel as Current file, with a Remove current file button next to it. To swap the file, remove the current one and repeat the upload, or enter a new address.

When the file was sent by Upload (this does not apply to a Hosted file), a Download file button also appears next to Remove. Use it to get the uploaded HTML back, edit it, and upload the updated version.

What the participant sees

The lecture fills the whole screen, without the header, title or close button that appear on other lecture types - navigation, when it exists, comes from the embedded page itself. While no file or address is configured, the participant sees the message “This content is not available yet.”
