Build a placeholder page

A placeholder page combines one or more of the creative tools - activity log, blog, collection and portfolio page - within a structured workbook response.





What is a placeholder page?


Building a workbook or a template page provides a structure to capture a fixed response. If flexibility and creativity is also required, a placeholder page can help.




See the learner's guide to adding a placeholder page.

  1. Click the + to add a new page
  2. Choose Placeholder Page
  3. Choose Page
  4. To guide the learner, add a page title and description.



See the learner's guide to creating a page.

Add an Activity log


You can add an activity log placeholder to a workbook. Two options are available:


  1. Learner-defined criteria
  2. Builder-defined criteria



1. Learner-defined criteria

  3. Choose Activity log
  4. Choose Activity log defined by user
  5. To guide the learner, add a page title and description.

2. Builder-defined criteria

You have full control of the activity log. You set the target hours / points and determine how assets are added to the log.


To add: 

  1. Click the + to add a new page
  2. Choose Placeholder Page
  3. Choose Activity log
  4. Choose I want to set activity log criteria

All learners will have the same target hours/points set which cannot be individualised.



Set log criteria


One or more of the following criteria must be set to filter which the assets are added to the log. 



CriteriaDescription
Asset typeRestrict the asset type added to the log. This will collate all assets of this type from the learner's Asset Store, unless also used together with a date filter and/or tag.
Template responseChoose one template resource you own and set all the learner's asset responses to be collated on the log.
Created dateSet to only collate assets that were created before, after or between certain dates.
TagsSet to collate all assets containing a matching tag. Where multiple tags are included, the asset needs to contain only one tag, not all. (Also see cascading tags.)
Automatically turn on searchSet to automatically activate the page when the learner creates their workbook and begin to attach assets which meet the set criteria.
