A workbook is a structured resource containing multiple pages. It's built by adding templates or placeholder pages and organised to guide a learner's response.
Open workbook builder
All users with access to Pebble+ can create an unlimited number of workbooks. By building it, you are the workbook owner.
To build:
- From the burger menu, choose Get creative> Create a workbook.
- With the builder open, click Save.
- Type a title into the field, and click Confirm
- The workbook is saved to your Resource Store.
Add a page
A new workbook resource is blank. You choose the type of page that is added, repeating as many times as needed for each new page.
To add:
- Click the + icon
- Select the type of page to add.
- New template page - Adds a new, blank template to be built from scratch.
- Existing resource - Opens your Resource Store to choose a resource (see nested workbooks)
- Placeholder page - Opens the Get Creative dashboard to choose the type of placeholder page.
Rename a page
Pages added will be labelled New page. Resources added from the Resource Store will be labelled with their resource title.
To change:
- Click the cog icon of the page
- Type the new name in the text field
- Click Confirm to save the change
Renaming a resource's name in a workbook will not change its title in the Resource Store.
Remove a page
If no longer needed, a page can easily be removed from a workbook.
To remove:
- Click the cog icon of the page.
- Click Remove this page button.
Caution: if a page has not been made available for reuse in your Resource Store, it will be fully deleted.
Nested workbook
A single page in a workbook can itself be converted into what's called a nested workbook. This creates a dropdown menu of pages.
To convert:
- Click the + icon of the page.
- Click Convert to workbook button
- New pages, and existing resources, can be added within the nested workbook.
Add existing workbook
Where another workbook is saved in your Resource Store, this can be added as a nested workbook by choosing to add an existing resource.
A workbook can only be nested once within the same resource.
Adjust properties
The properties for the overall workbook, and each individual block, control its appearance and function.
To change:
- Click Properties to open the sidebar.
- Click the block once. A blue border will confirm it is highlighted to show the block's properties.
- Click the menu tab to switch between the property levels.
Try a workbook
While making a workbook, you are in build view. From here, you can switch to see how a workbook appears to a learner in edit view.
To switch:
- Click the Try this workbook button.
- A temporary response (edit view) is created, but not saved.
- Test the workbook acting in the learner role.
- Click Back to workbook builder to return to build view.
