This article includes instructions specifically for the new LMS. If you are not currently in the new LMS, please see our section on LoudCloud.
If you have been granted permission to add content within the LMS, this article will walk you through the process. You can add content, edit tasks and assignments, and re-order the structure of the Path. Please note, you can only add content or make changes to the Path if you are a traditional on-ground faculty. If you are an online faculty, please do not make changes to the course as it could cause grading complications. Click the applicable heading below for steps. If you are unable to edit content in your class at all, please contact Faculty Training and Development at 602-639-7004 or at facultydevelopment@gcu.edu.
You may add unique content to your course through the Path. To begin, click on the Edit icon as pictured below.
The Path is customizable so that you can add items alongside topics, within topics, or inside of Study Materials or Tasks. If you would like to add an item alongside a topic, click on the plus icon within the Path header.
If you would like to add an item inside a specific Topic, Course Materials, or Instructor Material, click on the blue plus icon next to the respective area.
If you would like to add an item inside the Study Materials or Tasks, first click on the topic to expand it, then click on the blue plus icon next to Tasks or Study Materials.
There are a variety of different items you can add to the classroom.
The top portion of items (above the line) function similarly, as do the items below the line.
While the Pre-Test, Post-Test, Assessments, and Resources are separate items, they have similar options. Once you add the item in the correct location on the Path, click on it again from within the Path.
Once you click on it, options will appear to the right. Choose an Assessment Type by clicking on the type you would like to add.
After choosing the Assessment Type, select Author New or Import From.
If you choose Import From, you will be able to pull from the Content Repository, Other Class, or Library.
Otherwise, you will need to create the content by filling out the form and uploading files, as needed.
Instructional Units, Topics, Modules, and Tests are separate items, but function similarly. When you add one of these items, you will need to create a Title on the left side, within the Path. Any field marked with a red asterisk requires a selection.
