Each Organization and Program has a Templates tab, from which administrators can:

  • Create Folders: Easily group relevant templates together into folders for better organization.
  • Create Templates: Utilize templates to build customizable, interactive documents that define the requirements of an activity submission.
  • Create Activities from a Template: Mass distribute activities to multiple course sections.
  • View Template Activity History: Review template usage details, including which course sections utilize the template.
