Making Changes to the Template for an Existing Activity

Updating an Activity Template

Updating an Activity Template

In Student Learning & Licensure (SL&L), changes made to a template will not be applied to any existing activities that were created with that template. Existing activities would either need to be deleted and recreated, or an admin or instructor can edit the template for each individual activity.

Note: The changes you have made will be applied to this activity only.


To Edit the Template as an Admin

  1. Go to the Academics & Offices tab.
  2. Click on the course folder under My Organizations & Programs. An Academics & Offices page showing a list of organizations and programs with their associated leads. The page shows entries such as Hogwarts with listed leads, Example with a lead name, and Education Example with an Assign Leads option. The navigation menu shows sections including Academics & Offices, In Progress, Timeline, ePortfolios, Templates, Rubrics, and Placement Management.
  3. Select the Courses tab. A courses page showing the Example organization with navigation tabs for Standards & Outcomes, Rubrics, Courses, Templates, and Log Categories, with Courses selected. The page shows a course list containing one course entry with the catalog code EDUC 1010, the course name Introduction to Education, the creation date and time, the number of open and closed sections, and an Internship Features toggle set to Off.
  4. Click on the course you want to work in.
  5. Select the section. A course section page showing Introduction to Education with code EDUC 1010, and a Sections list showing one section entry with its instructor, term, dates, placement management, mentor notifications, time logs, and an Open status with an edit icon.
