Organising My materials

Open My materials whenever you are looking for something of your own. Recents lists what you worked on last; My lectures, My worksheets and My collections list one kind each; All materials shows everything.

Once the list grows, make a folder for each topic, class or term. A folder only groups: a material can be in several folders at once, and deleting a folder keeps its materials (its subfolders are deleted with it). Folders are private, so no one else sees how you have arranged things.

1. Open My materials and choose All materials in the folder panel. If the panel is hidden, open it with the button at the left of the toolbar.

2. Click New folder, type a name and press Enter.

3. To file several materials at once, click Select, click the cards you want, then click File to…. Tick the folder and click Save.

4. Click a folder to see only its materials. To file a single material, drag its card onto a folder, or choose File to folder… in the card's menu.

5. To split a big topic, hover over the folder and click Add a folder inside. The same row has Rename folder and Delete folder.

6. To add files of your own, open the folder, click Upload and choose Upload files. Files land in the folder you have open. For a PDF, Word or PowerPoint document, Praktikal asks whether to Upload as a file or Import as a lesson.

• Dragging a card from All materials onto a folder adds it there. Dragging it from inside one folder onto another moves it.

• Inside a folder, the search box searches only that folder.

• Upload a document as a file when students only need to download or print it. Import it as a lesson when you want to edit its content in Praktikal.

• Name folders the way you will look for them later: by topic or class rather than by date.
