Choose the size of the heading that you wish to insert. You can use headings at the beginning of a page or to separate sections within a page. The ‘full-width underlined’ heading is particularly useful for separating topics on a page.

Quotes are a good way to add interest when introducing a new topic.

Choose either a ‘short’ or ‘long’ version of the Fancy quote style.

Choose the boxed icon that corresponds to the particular task or activity that you wish to insert into your page.

Choose the alert message that you wish to insert. You may wish to use green to highlight a ‘positive’ alert message and red to draw attention to a ‘negative’ alert message. Also note that you can change the text to remove the word ‘attention’ if you consider it inappropriate.

Select the desired colour of the panel that you wish to insert.

Expandable panels are a good way to present feedback or additional information/hints. When the coloured bar at the top of the panel is pressed, the content will either expand or shrink.

Note: If you wish to include more than one expandable panel in a page, you will need to copy the panel to the clipboard each time before you paste it into your unit page.

There is a separate ‘table’ tab also available. The ‘Panel with table’ tool allows introductory material or a description to be included with the table data.

Select either the ‘left’, ‘centre’ or ‘right’ option below for the desired position of the image relative to the text.
 

In MyLO: replace the image with your own image in MyLO using the image tool, then remove the additional space after/below the image

Selecting and resizing images in MyLO

In Chrome, clicking on an image in the editor in MyLO no longer 'selects' the image, which can make replacing placeholder images or adjusting the size of images slighlty more difficult. This is a result of a recent update to Chrome, and unrelated to the ICB.

The easiest way to select an image is to move your cursor to immediately after the image and use the Shift & Left-Arrow key combination on your keyboard to highlight the image.

Note that if you do not see image 'handles' at the corners of the image, then you have selected more than just the image, (you may also have selected additional invisible characters such as spaces or line-breaks). Make sure you select the image only.

Once you have selected the image you can replace placeholder images with your own images as per normal, or resize images using the image handles.

Tip: Getting your cursor right next to an image can be tricky: put your cursor at the front of the 'put caption here' text and use the Left-arrow key on your keyboard until the cursor is right next to the image you wish to replace or resize.

Select the table style that you wish to use. When you have pasted the table into your unit page, you can change all features of the table, including numbers of rows and columns, using the MyLO table editor tool.

Select the task panel or rubric that you wish to insert. When you have pasted either into your unit page, you can change features, including numbers of rows and columns, using the MyLO table editor tool.

Insert a video clip from YouTube or MyMedia into your unit. For both both types of video, you will need to locate your video’s unique embed code and paste it into the embed code box below, BEFORE selecting ‘copy to clipboard’.

To find the embed code for a YouTube video, open the video on YouTube and select the ‘Share’ tab below the clip. Then select the ‘Embed’ tab and copy the code located within the box.

For MyMeida (Echo360 ALP) videos, use the 'Details > Sharing' option to create a public link, then generate and copy the Embed code. See the help at: Echo360 Instructor Guide - Sharing a Video.

Paste the embed code into the embed code box below, then copy the video to your clipboard for pasting into your unit.

This is a 'method of last resort.' You should only need to do this in exceptional circumstances. We strongly recommend uploading your video to MyMedia and then embedding it into your unit from there.

Embed an mp4 or avi video that is stored in your unit into a page.

To do this you will first need to upload the video file into your unit using MyLO's file manager tool.

Next you will need to find the web address of where the video is stored in MyLO. to do this:

• Create a link to your video in the page into which you want to embed it:
  Use the 'QuickLink - Unit File' tool to insert a link to the video file.
• You then need to save your page and exit (cancel out of) 'Editing Mode' in MyLO
• Right-click/Control-Click on the link you have just created
• Choose the 'Copy link address' / 'Copy link location' / 'Copy Shortcut' option. (Which option you see will depend upon your web browser)

Paste the address you have just copied into the 'video link' box in this tool.

Select the 'copy to clipboard' button.

Edit your MyLo Page, and paste into your MyLO page, the video should be embedded. You can then delete the link you created.

The sorting tool allows you to create an interactive sequencing game. You will be able to add more object choices (using the MyLO table tool) and change the text when it is pasted into your unit page. This tool may be used to ask students to, for example, rank objects or variables from highest to lowest, biggest to smallest or most to least likely.

The Completion Feedback option allows you to customise a message that appears when the correct solution is reached.

The Continuous Feedback option will indicate to students when each component of the sequence is in the correct place by changing the item highlight from red (incorrect) to green (correct).

The grouping tool allows you to create a game that requires students to divide a single list of objects into two or three defined groups. Students will drag their selection into one of two group boxes. If they are correct, their selection will highlight green; if incorrect it will highlight red. They can continue until all selections are correct.

When you have copied and pasted the tool into your unit page, insert the titles for your group boxes and list the correct items within each box. You can add extra options by inserting rows (using the MyLO table tool) but DO NOT insert columns, they WILL NOT display correctly.

When the student views the game, all of the options that you have placed within the boxes will be displayed as a randomly ordered list for students to choose from.

The Tab Panel tool allows you to create a quiz game where students must select from a number of options (2, 3 or 4 tabs). Within each tab you can include feedback or information. You may choose a simple True/False or Yes/No format with 2 tabs or make a more complicated multiple choice scenario with 3 or 4 tabs.

Choose the Image Tab Panel tool if you would like to include pictures in your quiz options.

The Image Tab Panel tool allows you to create a quiz game where students must select from a number of options (2, 3 or 4 tabs). Within each tab you can include feedback or information.

Once you have pasted the tool into your unit page, you can change the images using the MyLO image insertion tool.

• Ensure that both images within the tabs are the SAME SIZE.
• Insert your image into the space below the placeholder image, inside the red box
• then remove the placeholder image
• finally, remove any stray empty spaces/lines above or below your image inside the red box

Note that you won't see the red box until you are in edit mode inside MyLO

The layout of the panel will look wierd until all your images are inserted, placeholder images removed, and all stray empty lines have been deleted.

The MyLO system automatically removes spaces from between items when pages are displayed, sometimes making items appear too close together. These spacers are used to insert a space that persists. Spacers will be shown in the editor as a grey/blue bar with the word 'spacer', but will not be shown when the page is viewed.

Conversely, sometimes you want to stop things floating up next to an image or other element that takes up only part of a page.

Insert a 'Wrapping Break' spacer where you want to force a break to prevent the following content from wrapping around the preceeding content (such as an image or table). Note that the 'Wrapping Break' spacer does not add any space to the page.

Choose the page spacer size that you wish to use – Wrapping Break, Small, Medium or Large.
