Step 4

Before saving the page

  • Choose a Type for the learning material (Article, Book, or Video)
  • Under Covers Concept, write down the concepts that are covered by this video. When you put the cursor on this field, you will notice that a drop down list will appear. This list has all the concepts that are already present on the wiki. If the concept is already available in the list, click on it to choose it, otherwise, write it down yourself. Make sure to respect capitalization.


Important: Before you create any new concept, make sure you consult the list of concepts already present. You can see the entire list through the following link: http://linked.aub.edu.lb/collab/index.php/Category:Learning_concepts
