Learning Goal Widget

The widget is available as an activity in TeachCenter and can therefore also be added to a course.

To add the widget as a section to a course, first click on "Add section". Then add a section. Klick on Add an activity or resource.

The learning goals widget can then be selected from the possible activities.

Give the widget a name.

To fill the widget with topics and learning goals, click on ”Themenbereiche und Lernziele” (Topics and Learning Goals).

First you add a subject area. Each subject area needs a title and a short description, which is then displayed in the visualisation. In addition, you can also add a web address to the learning materials, which is then stored in the widget.

If you have inserted a subject area, you can now also insert a learning goal for the subject area. To do this, first select the subject area. Then click on "New learning objective” (Neues Lernziel). Now enter the title of the learning goal and enter the short description of the learning goal to be displayed in the widget. Finally, enter the link to the content of the learning goal.

Please note: Learning goals must be assigned to a subject area.

Once you have defined all the subject areas and learning goals for your course, you can use them with the conventional Moodle functionalities: edit, delete, move up or down.

Click on "Save and return to course".

The widget is then filled with the entered subject areas and learning goals. If you want to expand the content of the widget, click on "Edit" in the activity area and then on "Edit settings" and you will return to the editor.

Sections in the TeachCenter are numbered consecutively; each section has a section number.

To link a section in the TeachCenter to a learning goal in the widget, the section number can simply be added to the course URL: [course_URL]#section-[section-number]; example: https://tc.tugraz.at/main/course/view.php?id=1559#section-3

If a section is moved in the TeachCenter, its section number will also change accordingly. The URL in the linked learning goals must then be adjusted!

PDFs uploaded to the TeachCenter can also be linked to learning goals: Simply open the PDF in the TeachCenter, copy the URL and paste it into the corresponding field in the learning goals editor. Only complete URLs (including https://) will work.

Changes to the widget, such as new subject areas and learning goals, will only be visible after a reload of the page.

In the end, the visualisation of the subject areas and the learning goals in the widget should be checked, as well as the links.
