Splash Page
The splash page content block is usually used to create the first page in a Learning Object. On this page you can greet the learner and give them key information such as the title of the Learning Object. Images can be used to support the title.
Note: To create a splash page, you only need to use the splash page content block. No other content blocks are required.
