Customizing the Font in Your Course

Instructors can use third-party tools to adjust fonts on their courses to suit their requirements. For example, some literacy instructors want to use Comic Sans or the Open Dyslexic fonts.

1. Open the WordtoHTML.net site.

2. Paste the text into the Visual Editor.

3. Click on the More Text icon to expand the toolbar.

4. Click on the Font family drop-down, and then select a font. 

Note: In this example, the Font Family was changed to Comic Sans. 

5. To bring the newly formatted text to your course, click on the Copy HTML to clipboard icon. 

Note: The HTML code appears in the HTML Editor located on the right side of the window. Most likely it is not a good idea to change the HTML code here.

6. On your Avenue course, click on the Turn editing on button.

7. Locate the resource or activity to be altered and click on the Edit link.

8. Click on Edit settings in the drop-down list.

9. In the appropriate text field’s toolbar, click on the Show more buttons icon. 

10. In the expanded toolbar, click on the HTML icon. 

11. Highlight the line of text that appears in the editor. 

12. Right-click on this line.

13. In the drop-down menu, click on the Paste option.

14. The complete text code appears.

15. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and then click on Save and display. 

Note: The font change is visible.
