We have redesigned the display of interactive syllabi to support effective and
focused student learning (the so-called “Learning First” approach). Everything
that is not beneficial for studying within the interactive syllabus is
minimized or removed.
What’s New Effective and Focused Learning
The most visible change is the simplification of the interface. The main
system menu is now accessible via a dropdown in the top bar—located in the
same place as on mobile devices.
What’s New Version History
Every change made in the interactive syllabus is now automatically saved as a
version. You can return to any previous version of the content at any time and
restore it. This means you no longer have to worry about accidentally
overwriting or losing important data.
Study progress
The “Study progress” indicator shows students how far they have progressed in
reading and completing the interactive syllabus. It takes into account viewed
chapters, played videos, opened linked files, etc. Students can also easily
identify skipped materials and return to them later.
Read rate
Teachers can view their students’ study progress indicator through the “Read
rate” feature. This allows them to see how students are progressing in their
studies. Teachers can easily identify students who have not yet opened the
interactive syllabus and provide them with support.
Copying Content Between Interactive Syllabi
Copying Content Between Interactive Syllabi
Chapters can now be copied easily from one interactive syllabus to another
using the “Copy Chapters” function. This is especially useful for instructors
whose courses overlap in content.
Validation
Validation checks whether the interactive syllabus is set up correctly. For
example, it verifies that linked study materials are truly accessible to
students and that any linked discussion exists. Validation is recalculated
automatically every night.
Header
The interactive syllabus header image can now be repeated at the start of
every chapter. Simply select “Zobrazovat úvodní obrázek ve všech kapitolách”
when setting up the header image.
Display Switching
For users who dislike changes, we have temporarily kept the option to switch
the interactive syllabus display back to the previous version. The IS will
remember this preference and display interactive syllabi in the chosen view
for that user.
