What can you do on this screen?
Underneath the Elements (major headings), you can create as many Pages or Paragraphs (subheadings) as you need for your content. Pages are primarily meant for on screen display (like eLearning), while Paragraphs are for printed materials (like the Instructor Guide).
What you can do with a page or paragraph is identical, just how the information is output and used is different.
Figure 254: Elements > Sub-Elements: Pages / Paragraphs and Notes / Cautions / Warnings
Once you have selected a page or paragraph, you can:
•View the title and contents by selecting the page or paragraph.
•Edit the title and type.
•View/Edit the Storyboard for the page or paragraph.
•Copy /Paste a selected page or paragraph.
•View the Design Considerations for Front Matter sub-elements, for Overview or Summary sub-elements, or for sub-elements at the Enabling Objective Level.
•Select Show History to review the changes made to the page or paragraph.
•Delete a selected page or paragraph (including all the content it contains). Once you've selected OK to the confirmation message, an Undo button displays on the bottom left of the screen that allows you to revert the deletion.
•Select Explain Flag to review the reasons the selected page or paragraph has been flagged.
•Add a Text entry.
•Convert a Text entry to a Note, Caution, or Warning entry, which will output the text with top and bottom lines and a Note, Caution, or Warning icon.
•Add a Resource entry.
•View or download a Resource entry, if a link is shown and you have the correct software available.
•Add a Sheet entry (for Enabling Objective Level page or paragraph only).
•Select Explain Flag to review the reasons the selected Text, Note, Caution, Warning, Resource, or Sheet entry has been flagged.
•Edit a selected Text, Note, Caution, Warning, Resource, or Sheet entry.
•Delete a selected Text, Note, Caution, Warning, Resource, or Sheet entry. Once you've selected OK to the confirmation message, an Undo button displays on the bottom left of the screen that allows you to revert the deletion.
•Copy /Paste a selected Text, Note, Caution, Warning, Resource, or Sheet entry.
•Move a selected Text, Note, Caution, Warning, Resource, or Sheet entry Up or Down in the list of entries to resequence the list of entries.
When the Delivery Method of the Overview, Summary, or Enabling Objective Level is set to Instructor-Led, you will get paragraphs. All other Delivery Methods will add pages. Front Matter elements always add Paragraphs when you select New, as those are expected to be printed.
Along with pages and paragraphs, you also have the option to create a note, caution, or warning at the sub-element level (so, not just as a note, caution, or warning text entry on a page or paragraph). This allows you to keep the notes, cautions, and warnings separate from your content and sequence the notes, cautions, and warnings in the place that you need it in your instructional flow. You can add Notes, Cautions, and Warnings anywhere that you can create a page or paragraph.
Note: If the Type of the note, caution, or warning sub-element matches the Title, e.g., the Type is "Note" and the Title is also "Note", then the title of the sub-element does NOT output in the Instructor Guide.
Go to the element in the tree structure and select to add a page or paragraph, or select Edit when you have a page, paragraph, note, caution, or warning selected. Figure 255: Sub-Element Detail Screen
Select the required Type from the drop-down to create a note, caution, or warning. Select Save to keep the changes or Cancel to close the page, paragraph, note, caution, or warning without saving any changes. Type The Type field allows you to choose what kind of Page, Paragraph, Note, Caution, or Warning you need for your content. You get the option of either Page or Paragraph, depending on the Delivery Method of the enabling objective level, and options for Note, Caution, or Warning. Title The Title of the Page, Paragraph, Note, Caution, Warning, or minor/sub-heading. This will guide the instructor and participants through the content. |
