05 Teach & Learn tab

Last modified by Carina Enke on 13.02.2024

 

In the Teach & Learn tab, users can find all the content they work with. For example, courses and groups in which learners are active and learning resources which are managed or maintained by tutors.

The menu on the left is structured according to categories. Depending on the system configuration, different categories may be shown, e. g. Favourites, My Courses, My Groups, My Resources, My ePortfolio and Performance Results.

The availability of the categories depends on how extensively the learning platform is used. The menu expands as the user participates in more activities. For example, a new user can only see the My ePortfolio category. As soon as they mark learning resources as favourites, create courses, or are assigned to groups, additional categories will show.

 

Available areas

The following areas are available:

Main menu entry Teach & Learn

If you open the main menu entry Overview in the Teach & Learn section, you will see various selection areas to create resources on the right. Depending on the user's rights, different functions will be available.

Learners can set up working groups, create and maintain content in the ePortfolio, as well as use external applications if available.
