Tagging allow instructors and learners to map Teamie resources (lessons, lesson pages and assessments) in a post on the site. While migrating this functionality to Dash, we thought of enhancing it. Unlike before, users will be able to tag a specific page within a lesson too.
In this section, we’ll focus on how to tag lessons, lesson pages and assessments (quiz, assignment and offline tests are referred as assessments) in post.
This article will guide you on:
1. Being an instructor, you may tag lessons in posts and you may not remember which are those posts with which the lesson has been tagged with. To make this convenient and easy for you, we’re showing a post counter indicating how many posts have that lesson as a tagged resource in the ‘expanded lesson view’ wherever needed. Let’s see how easy it is!
1. In the lesson expanded view, you will see a counter icon next to the lesson title which indicates the number of posts to which that lesson is tagged. Click the counter icon to see the post(s).
As an instructor, you may see all the posts that have an assignment tagged as a resource from the expanded assessment view. Let’s see how quickly you can do it!
1. In the assignment expanded view, you will see a counter icon next to the assignment title indicating the number of posts in which that assessment is tagged. Click the counter icon to see the tagged post(s).
As a learner, you may see all the posts that have an online quiz tagged as a resource. Lets see how quickly you can do it!
Currently, you can only see the tagged count on the quizzes that are available for you to take, i.e., quizzes having the "Take Now"button.
1. Locate the required quiz on the classroom's Materials page and click its Take Now button.
2. You will land on the quiz taking page. The tagged posts count for the online quiz will be shown on the top right corner of the page. Click the post count to view the post(s) tagged with that online quiz.
3. The post(s) tagged with that online quiz will be filtered for you on the classroom's newsfeed.
You can create a thought in the form of a thought, question or a homework/task right from the lesson itself. The idea behind this is to initiate a discussion around a lesson.
1. On the lesson expanded page, click the gear icon and select Create thought/question/homework as per your requirement. We are creating a thought to illustrate this workflow.
2. In the post sharing form, you will notice that the classroom to which the lesson belongs to, has been selected by default and the lesson is automatically tagged in the post.
1. Navigate to a lesson and then access any of the lesson page. On the bottom of the lesson page, you’ll see a Posts section. This section will display all posts that have tagged that particular lesson page. You can initiate a post about that particular lesson page from the posts section. To create a post, click Create thought down-arrow and select the required post type. We are creating a thought to illustrate this workflow.
2. In the post sharing form, you will notice that the classroom to which the lesson page belongs to, has been selected by default and the lesson page is automatically tagged in the post.
4. A confirmation message appears confirming that the post has been shared successfully and at the same time, counter gets updated to reflect the exact number of posts that have the lesson page as the tagged resource. Click on the counter to see the posts.
Q1. What happens if I delete the resources (lessons/lesson pages/assessments) which were tagged in a post? Will it also delete the post along with the deleted resources?
A) It's a simple No. Deleting a resource (lessons/lesson pages/assessment) from a classroom will not delete the tagged post and you can continue seeing such post(s) in the Posts tab of that classroom.
Q2. Will it have any impact on a resource if the post, that has been tagged with the resource, gets deleted?
A) No. The resource will just get unlinked from the post and the post will be deleted permanently.
Q3. What happens if you delete a post that was created as a part of discussion in a lesson/lesson page/assessment and the resource it is tagged with was shared with multiple classrooms?
A) When you initiate a discussion from a lesson / lesson page / assignment, then the classroom to which the resource belongs to is selected by default and the resource is tagged to that post. The post will be created only in that classroom with that tagged resource. Therefore, deleting the post will just unlink the resource from the post and the post will get deleted permanently.
Q4. What happens if you delete a post which is shared with multiple classrooms and is tagged with a resource?
A) As soon you share a post with multiple classrooms, multiple copies of the post are created (each one for a classroom it is shared with). So deleting a post from one classroom will just unlink the resource from the post and the post will get deleted permanently from that classroom only, and not from any other classrooms it is shared with.
Note 1: You can create a post with a tagged resource only in those classrooms to which the tagged resource belongs.
Note 2: Learners can not share a post with multiple classrooms whereas instructors can.
