ANGEL Community Hub

Folders on the Lessons tab don’t perhaps radiate the glamour of some other ANGEL features, but can be key in organizing course content and guiding students to the items they need. Article 1181 Folders: General Information in the Help & Information Guide describes several different approaches, including arranging content chronologically, by type, or by topic.

Please share with the community the ways in which you have used folders. How do you arrange your content? Do you use a different approach for different courses? How many levels deep do you place subfolders within folders?

I’m especially interested in that last one: are there findings from education or psychology? I myself wrestled with the question of how many levels deep to make the category structure on the left-hand side of the Help & Information Guide. It’s a trade-off between wanting to clearly indicate what is where vs. aggravating users by making them click and click.

How to: On the Lessons tab, select Add Content in the toolbar, then select Folder. Assign at least a Title, then click Save. While you are still within that folder, to make a subfolder, repeat the previous process.
