Embed External Content (with iFrame)

Integrate external content into your courses, enhancing interactivity and collaboration.

Updated over 2 months ago

With iFrame embedding, you can seamlessly integrate external content into your courses, enhancing collaboration, knowledge sharing, and interactivity. This feature lets you embed tools like Mentimeter, Miro boards, and other web-based resources directly within Learnster. To embed, simply copy and paste the embed code from the external tool.

The Benefits of Embedded External Content:

  • For Learners – Access external tools without leaving the course, creating a more engaging and interactive experience.

  • For Instructors – Enrich course content with dynamic resources, fostering collaboration and deeper discussions.

How to Embed External Content in Learnster

  1. In a course, navigate to the page where you want to embed the content.
    ​

  2. Drag and drop the activity type Embed to the page.
    ​

  3. In the external tool (e.g., Mentimeter, Miro), locate and copy the embed code.
    ​

  4. Return to Learnster and paste the embed code into the embed field.
    ​

  5. Click Save, and the external content will appear directly on the page.
    ​

  6. Select the size (width) of the embedded item.

ℹ️ Note: In some cases, domains are protected against being displayed in an <iframe> for security reasons. Even if the embed feature is working correctly, the content may not load if the source domain blocks embedding.

If you're having trouble embedding a link, check with the administrator of the source tool to confirm whether embedding is allowed.


Find embed code

You can usually find the embed code in external tools under options like "Share" or "Embed." It is often provided as an iframe code snippet that you copy and paste into Learnster.
