Text and images
Write an explanation with a heading, a list and emphasis, then add an illustration with a caption that tells students what to look at.
When to use it
Most worksheets start here: a short explanation students read before they answer anything. Use a Text item for the explanation and a separate Image item for the picture. Keeping them as two items lets you move or reuse each one on its own, and the picture gets its own caption.
The caption is where a picture starts to teach. Instead of naming what is shown, tell students what to notice in it.
Setting it up
In a worksheet, use the + and choose Text. The new item opens for editing straight away.
Write a heading on the first line of the item.
A new text keeps its heading hidden from students. To show it, click Title options (the small sliders button at the end of the heading) and untick Hide title in this context.
Write the explanation in the body below. The toolbar above it has Bold, Italic, Bullet list, Ordered list and more: select a few words and click Bold to emphasise them.
Use the + below the text and choose Image. Click Select image file to upload a picture from your computer, or Add image URL to use a link.
Click Add caption under the picture and write what students should notice.
Click the tick when you are done.
What students see
Students read the text and the picture in the order you placed them, with the caption under the picture. Clicking the picture opens it larger, which helps with detailed diagrams. A heading you left hidden does not appear for them.
There is nothing to answer here, so nothing is saved or marked.
Tips
Keep the heading short. It is what students use to find their place on the worksheet.
Bold one key phrase per paragraph at most. When everything is emphasised, nothing is.
Use a list for steps or things to observe, so students can work through them one at a time.
Hide title in this context applies only to this place. If the same text is used in another lecture, its heading can be shown there and hidden here.
