Once editing is turned on in a course, the editing icons are displayed within each section/block. These icons allow teachers to modify the positioning of items on a page, change their availability for students, and provide access to the page for editing the activities and resources.



The icons along with their functions are listed below.

Move resource


This icon allows an instructor to drag and reposition a resource or activity vertically in a topic or up and down a course page. This same icon is used to move an entire topic or a block. If you need to move a Resource, Activity, or Topic all the way to the top or bottom of your course page, you can save time by dragging it a short distance and then, while still holding the mouse left button down, hitting the Home or End keys to move it directly to the top or bottom of the course page.

Edit Title


This icon allows the instructor to change a resource or activity title that appears in a Topics section on the course page. After editing the title, it is necessary to press the Enter key to save the changes.

Edit Settings


This icon allows the instructor to update or edit a resource.

Indent or Move Right-Left


These icons are used to indent or move a resource or activity along a horizontal axis.

Show / Hide


These icons are used to temporarily show or hide activities or resources from students in a course.

Duplicate


This icon is a real time saver, as it duplicates an activity or resource and allows course editors to use previous work as a basis for new resources or activities. If you want to save your past learners' work, but have a new activity for new learners, you can use this feature to make a copy that does not include previous student work.

Assign Roles


This icon allows teachers to assign specific editing roles for specific resources or activities. It may be useful for small group tasks when the teachers want to appoint one of the students as a teacher with creation rights.

Delete


This icon allows instructors to permanently delete activities or resources. Use this feature with caution.

Note: Deleted resources and activities can be restored within one hour from the Recycle Bin.
