Learning Commons:Student Orientation/Content Editing/Student Toolkit(Learning Wrapper)

From UBC Wiki

Overview

The Learning Wrapper used in the Student Toolkits page is divided into 5 sections

  • Learn - which is where the video goes.
  • Apply - which is where the quiz goes
  • Visualize - which is where the infographic goes.
  • Links - which is where the related resources goes
  • Your Turn - which is where "challenges" and comments go.

Before you are working with Learning Wrapper(Important)

click on text mode tab, then refresh the page.
  • Best practice is to work on with text mode when you edit the content. If you are on visual editor mode before editing the text, make sure to switch to text mode, then hit refresh, then edit the page. Hitting a refresh after switching to text mode is an important step as this step will prevent WordPress to strip out HTML code. Since the Learning Wrapper is entirely in HTML, it may be overwhelming for the first time, but don't worry - what you will be doing is editing the text.
  • If you are unsure why the page looks broken, you can check and compare with the other pages that are not broken.

Step 1: Paste the HTML template

  1. Edit the page
  2. Above the editor, Switch to text

Step 2: Add a video to Learn section

  3. After you copy and pasted the video, credit the video. You can credit the video by editing between <p style="text-align: center;"> and </p>

For example:

<div class="video"><div class="responsive-media">

</iframe></div><p class="videocredit">Video credit:Intellectual Property: Copyrights - posted by Kauffman FoundersSchool on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tux0Xc589Ps">YouTube</a></p>
