creating content items

When an instructor chooses to create, they are choosing to build content from within the system. Multiple types of items can be added to the course content outline to provide materials, assess learning, and add interactivity.

Within the area you wish to create content, hover over the line between content items and click on the + icon

Select Create from the menu. Clicking the create option opens a new layer, allowing instructors to choose the type of item they would like to create. Items are displayed in the panel by content type and are grouped in the following categories:

• Course Content Items: folder, learning module, document, link, SCORM package, teaching via LTI connection.
• Assessment: Test and Assignment
• Participation and Engagement: Discussions

From the menu that opens on the right, select Document to create a content item.
