Add New Item
The Content and Activities shown in the left navigation panels of your course contain the items as folders and activities built for your course and each unit.

Use the + Add New Item seen above the center of the course and unit pages to create new activities.

To add a new item, you will first navigate to the location for the item. For example, to add a Discussion Board to Unit 11, go to the Unit 11 folder and click Add New Item.

When you add an item, it will be the last item on the navigation panel. Use the Sort tab to rearrange the sequence of content and activities.

Add / Copy New Folder
If you need to create a new folder that contains the same elements that are standard for the IGEN Career Pathways course, you must copy an existing folder by selecting copy from the Action drop menu. You will then be able to select the location of the new folder and which elements you would like to have copied. Do NOT choose to link to items in the originating folder unless you would like to have any edits to the items appear in both locations.

If you use + Add New Item to add a folder, it will display in a basic folder layout.
