Tag the content

You can mark the content with one or many tags, for example which course outcomes the content relates to. This will make it easier for students to find the content, but you will also be able to follow up activity at the outcome level. 

  • Click on Edit tags (6)
  • A popup window appears Edit tags (see below)
  • Tag the content to one or several course outcome(s) under the section "Course name" Outcome.
  • Select at least one Tag under the section Social Perspective and Humanities
  • Other tags can be added if appropriate 
  • Click on Save in the popup window Edit tags
  • Click on Save (7) in the main content window

 

The usage of tags varies from programme to programme and each programme will present specific instructions that should be followed.


Did you know that a teacher can see if a student has been viewing a content item and thus measure activity levels. Content can also be re-used as attachments in assignments for an example as background information or as instructions.
