....it will look like this. The editing functions for things you've already added (I've

ringed them) have appeared. They are:

Hide/Reveal

Edit

Drag to move up/down

Delete

Indent (Format)

These are the drop down menus used for adding

material.

install and most useful activities:

This is the window that

opens...

Clicking on "Link to a file or website" enables you to link to any webpage, or

insert most kinds of file (videos up to 10Mb, word documents, scans, etc.

Give the resource a

name that is clear to the students

For websites, delete “http:// “and cut and paste in the website's address

(highlight, then Ctrl + C, then click here and Ctrl + V)

Always drop down and choose "new window", otherwise when

the student closes the

document, they close STC Live

too.

When you click on "choose or upload a file", a window opens with all the files for that course. Click on "upload a file" to

add to the list...

Choose "browse" to find

a file...

then "upload" it...

Then "choose" file to put the file

into the stcLIVE

page

This takes you back to the page where you gave the file a name for STC Live. Scroll down and choose "save and return to course"

Don't forget: "New window".

The new resource file or webpage will be the last thing on the list for that unit, but you can reorder the resources using

the

function

This expands/ contracts all the units so that they are visible or alternatively, stacked (but it is not a change to the page, the same option is available to the students)

These icons hide either whole units' contents (a) or individual files/sites (b) within a unit

Ask for your IT champion to arrange to have your students e-enrolled on the STC Live course, and you're ready to start using the page for induction & support material, as activities in lessons or for

homework, for student socialisation, as a revision archive and more...
