A few reminders and
updates that will make setting up your course pages and calendar for the new
school year a little easier:
Archived Pages
Access archived pages to see what was posted last year – archived classes are now sorted by year to make navigation easier!
Navigation
After logging into the website, use the navigation ribbon located across the bottom of the page (at the top on an iPad) for quick access to your account, portals, groups, messages and bookmarks.
Setting up New Pages
You can now…
- Copy the home page from an archived course by selecting ‘Copy From’ in the upper right of the current home page
- Import folders from any of YOUR active or archived groups to a current course page [2015 update]
- Copy a shared folder from an active or archived group. This means you can share folders with colleagues who teach the same class – when you COPY a shared folder the folders are no longer linked – once you pull it onto a new page you can edit it without changing the original [2015 update]
- Upload up to 25 Resources at once by selecting ‘Multiple Files’ when creating a New Resource. Uploaded files will be given the name of the file and can be edited if necessary [2015 update]
New for 2015
Finalsite redesigned the Quiz Module interface. The all new Quiz Module makes creating quizzes quick and easy!
