Creating and Editing a Teaching Guide

This article will help you compile a lesson plan for yourself and other educators with a Teaching Guide.

First, we need to create the blank Teaching Guide for you to add your lesson plan to.

1. Click the My content link to go your dashboard, then select Add new content from the My content section.

2. Select the Teaching Guide content type.

   

3. Give your Teaching Guide a title, and then optionally fill out the description, subject, and background knowledge fields.

1. Navigate to the blank section editor that will let you create your first Teaching Guide section.

   

   
   

2. Add a name for this section and choose if you want to add a textbox*, some rich media like an image, video, or audio content, or link out to a different piece of content on LabXchange.

   Looking to add more than one element to a section? Scroll down and you will find the buttons to add more are below the last piece of content that you added.

   

   
   

3. Add any more sections you need by scrolling down and clicking on Add section and repeat the previous step as needed.

You may want to have a few extra materials on hand during a lesson that you haven't included in a specific section of your Teaching Guide.

To add these resources to your teaching guide, scroll down to the Content block at the bottom and click on Add content

Scroll down further to edit the last optional details to your Teaching Guide such as the list of authors, subject tags, and featured image.

Your Teaching Guide is now complete and ready to be saved to your private Library.
