[Note: The following links will be hard-coded into the content type so you don't have to add them any time.
Also, notice that the clickable link text has been changed from what you supplied. This is because the clickable text used to be 'here' but that's not good for screen readers and must be avoided to improve accessibility. Obviously, none of this red text would appear on a real micro-cred page]

Notes (Not part of the Content type)

• Banner: The Micro credentials banner is designed to take a 600x300px, 96dpi photo. The sides of this photo will be truncated at wider screen widths, only showing the centre (300x300px) square. When the screen gets narrower (600px wide and smaller), this component will display the image in the background. At this point the entire image will be visible, provided the screen is wide enough for it (e.g. an iPhone 11, in portrait orientation, only has a 414px-wide screen, so 93px will be truncated from each side of the image. In landscape orientation, the 300x300px centre of the image would be shown - just like on widescreen monitors).
  So, always use images that have the subject at the centre and expect up to 150x on the left and right sides to be cropped away automatically.
• The short description in the banner (below the course code) will be the description used when listing the microcreds on one page. You will have the option to include it on the banner too (useful if it has a short name - there won't be room for it if the microcred's name is long).

  If you do choose to show it on the banner, be aware that it will be truncated if it's too long - so preview it and then resize the window, dragging it from wide to narrow, to be sure it will work on all screen widths.

• Applying: The Apply Now button will scroll down to, and open, the 'How to apply' accordion segment, highlighting it, temporarily, so that the important information, therein, won't be missed.
• The content in the 'How to apply' section will be mostly entered into the CMS for each micro-cred. The only bit that will be auto-inserted by the CMS will be the 'Learn More about our Application Process' and 'Apply here: ' links at the bottom. These links open in a new tab so that the user can switch back to the micro-cred page / instructions during the application process.
• Akari Content: Some bits of this page are auto imported from the Akari Curriculum Manager:
  1. Intro paragraph (under the banner and key fact boxes)
  2. Learning outcomes (note the similarity to your requested field: 'What you will learn'
  3. Assessments
  This information will automatically be added when you enter its internal module code into the content type: SC3303. See all akari module codes.
• Podcast / Video Links: I'm assuming Soundcloud and YouTube for podcasts and videos, respectively. If their codes are provided, these links will appear as icons on the page, as requested. When you click on a link, the video/podcast will open up on the microcred page (instead of linking to the hosting service in question).
  
  Note: YouTube videos won't auto-play unless they are muted (which is no good for us). Soundcloud embeds will auto-play (the do right now) but you might want to have this feature turned off so podcasts will behave just like the videos (i.e. wait for the user to click it before it begins to play). If you do, let me know.
• Soundcloud links - to add links to podcasts on Soundcloud, you'll just specify the track ID. This is difficult to see, so (a) Make sure your bookmarks bar is visible (use Ctrl-Shift-B to toggle it). Then (b) Drag this link up to your bookmarks bar: Soundcloud ID. Next time you're on a soundcloud page, simply click that link (on your bookmarks bar) to see the ID to use in the CMS.
• Video Links - When you browse to a video, you'll see its code in the web address bar. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0xJH-nK0II. This code is what you'll paste into the CMS.
• Downloads: There will be a main downloads folder - anything you add there will be included on all microcred pages automatically - but if you create a downloads sub-folder for any microcred, it will override that - even if it's empty (or inactive).
