Introduction to LTI Components ***************************
------------------------------ Overview of Tools in Studio
***************************
In addition to text, images, and different types of problems, Studio allows you
to add customized learning tools such as word clouds to your course.
- :ref:`LTI Component`: LTI components allow you to add an external learning application
or textbook to Studio.
- :ref:`Word Cloud`: Word clouds arrange text that students enter - for example, in
response to a question - into a colorful graphic that students can see.
- :ref:`Zooming image`: Zooming images allow you to enlarge sections of an image so
that students can see the section in detail.

Word Cloud
**********
In a word cloud exercise, students enter words into a field in response
to a question or prompt. The words all the students have entered then
appear instantly as a colorful graphic, with the most popular responses
appearing largest. The graphic becomes larger as more students answer.
Students can both see the way their peers have answered and contribute
their thoughts to the group.
For example, the following word cloud was created from students'
responses to a question in a HarvardX course.

Create a Word Cloud Exercise
----------------------------
To create a word cloud exercise:
#. Add the Word Cloud advanced component. To do this, add the
"word_cloud" key value to the **Advanced Settings** page. (For more
information, see the instructions in :ref:`Specialized Problems`.)
#. In the unit where you want to create the problem, click **Advanced**
under **Add New Component**.
#. In the list of problem types, click **Word Cloud**.
#. In the component that appears, click **Edit**.
#. In the component editor, specify the settings that you want. You can
leave the default value for everything except **Display Name**.
- **Display Name**: The name that appears in the course ribbon and
as a heading above the problem.
- **Inputs**: The number of text boxes into which students can enter
words, phrases, or sentences.
- **Maximum Words**: The maximum number of words that the word cloud
displays. If students enter 300 different words but the maximum is
set to 250, only the 250 most commonly entered words appear in the
word cloud.
- **Show Percents**: The number of times that students have entered
a given word as a percentage of all words entered appears near
that word.
#. Click **Save**.

.. _Zooming Image:
******************
Zooming Image Tool
******************
Some edX courses use extremely large, extremely detailed graphics. To make it
easier to understand we can offer two versions of those graphics, with the zoomed
section showing when you click on the main view.
The example below is from 7.00x: Introduction to Biology and shows a subset of the
biochemical reactions that cells carry out.

#. In the empty component that appears, click **Edit**.
#. When the component editor opens, replace the example content with your own content.
