Instructions to
create your own course-specific assignments
in LiveText:
LiveText offers you with
an option to design, create and post all your
course-specific assignments combined into a
single portfolio. Your students will be able
to access this portfolio as one of the templates,
and save it to their account. They can then
work on the different sections of the portfolio
(which will be the course-specific assignments)
throughout the semester, and submit them the
normal LiveText way.
Your portfolio can contain
various assignments designed as projects, lesson
plans, courses, and rubrics. You can individually
design each of the assignments to contain the
sections and instruction you want.
Once you have designed the
portfolio for your course, you will have to
share it with the LiveText administrator as an
editor. They can then make this a template accessible
to everybody in LiveText.
Follow these steps to create your course-specific
portfolio:
1.
Click the [Create] button when you are
at My Work page, and select 'Document'
from the dropdown menu.
2.
At the Create Document page, do the following:
a.
Select document as ‘Portfolio’
and any one of the templates listed. (It does
not matter which template you select because
you would be modifying the content and
titles to match your portfolio design.)
b.
Enter a name for your portfolio as Title.
The name should contain the course number, followed
by your name and a brief title for the portfolio
contents. For example, “MLED 3076 Smith
Assignment Portfolio”.
c.
Click the [Create document] button.
3.
You are now in the first page of the
portfolio you chose the template of. Click the
edit page link on right-top corner of
page.
4.
Modify the page title in the text box.
It can be the name of their first assignment.
5.
Under the page title, there are page
sections listed. If there are no page sections,
or if you want to add more sections to the page,
click the Create section button, browse
over the appropriate choice (mostly 'text and
image'), and click the choice. You will be prompted
to enter a name for that section.
6.
Click the edit link to the right
of the first page section.
a.
You can modify the title of the section
in the text box.
b.
Use the text editing window to add instructions
for the assignment.
c.
When done, click the [Save] button first,
and then the [Finish] button next, after the
message 'Successfully saved changes' appears.
d.
Now edit the next section for the page.
e.
Repeat 6c and 6d until the last page
section is modified. Then click [Save] button,
and then [Finish] button.
7.
Now, from the left hand side navigation
bar, select the next page (it is the one just
below the highlighted page section that you
just modified).
8.
Repeat steps 4 through 7 to change the
content on this page and all its sections. Continue
doing this till you have all your assignments
created.
9.
Click the Finish link on top or
bottom of the last page section of the last
page/assignment.
10.
If there are additional pages that you
want to delete:
a.
Click on that page (using the left-hand-side
vertical navigation bar).
b.
Click the Edit Page link on right-top
corner.
c.
On the left-hand-side of the page listing,
there are check boxes. Check the ones you wish
to delete, and click the [Delete] button on
the top of the listing.
e.
Click [Finish] button at the top-right
corner of the page.
Your portfolio is complete.
Share it with the LiveText Administrator as Editor
so that it can be published for use in LiveText.
Note:
If
you wish to make just one project or one lesson
plan template instead of a portfolio of projects,
just replace step 2 with the following set of
instructions:
?span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">
At the Create Document page, do
the following:
a.
Select document as ‘Project’
or ‘Lesson plan’, and any one of
the templates listed, for example, generic project.
(It does not matter which template you select
because you would be modifying the content
and titles to match your portfolio design.)
b.
Enter a name for your Project/Lesson
Plan as Title. The name should contain the course
number, followed by your name and a brief title
for the portfolio contents. For example, “MLED
3076 Smith Inclusion Assignment” or “MLED
3076 Smith Lesson Plan”.
c.
Click the [Create document] button.
