Developing themes for QTI content

Developing themes for QTI content

Summar.io provides the possibility to add a theme  per learning unit which allows all QTI content within that  and underlying learning units to have a unique look and feel.

Structure of themes

A theme consists of a CSS file named QTIplayer.css, and if applicable images which are being referred to within the CSS. These files compressed into a Zip file form a theme that can be imported in the catalog. Screen_Shot_2018-06-13_at_10.16.09.png

The CSS can be created by reverse engineering the HTML attributes within the QTI environment, and styling them as desired. This makes it important to have an understanding of CSS to be able to set up a solid theme.

Adding themes

Adding a theme is done by clicking the small palette icon within the learning unit to which the theme should be applied. A small dialog containing an 'Add theme' button will be shown, clicking this button will allow a theme Zip file to be uploaded.
