It is possible to "push" selcted settings from one Poodll MiniLesson to other MiniLesson's using the Push feature.
First the push feature must be enabled in the site administration. Do this at:
Site administration -> Plugins -> Activity modules -> Poodll MiniLesson
Then the teacher in the course will see a push tab on a MiniLesson page.
The settings which can be pushed are:
- Max. Attempts
- Transcriber
- Show Item Review
- AWS Region
- Container width
- CSS Key
- Custom font
- Finish screen
- Custom finish screen
- Lesson Items (* see below)
Before pushing a setting you should choose the scope of the push, ie to which activities you will push. The options are:
- MiniLesson activities of the same name sitewide
- ALL MiniLesson activities in the current course
- ALL MiniLesson activities site wide
- No MiniLesson activities
After you select an option a count will appear below the drop down box telling you how many activities will be affected
At that point clicking the "push" button on any of the settings entries will push the value of that setting on the current activity, to all activities in the scope.
Pushing: Lesson Items
There is an option to push not just activity settings, but also lesson items.
The option to push Lesson Items will appear ONLY if the scope setting is:
"MiniLesson activities (sitewide) with this activity name: [activity name]"
This will not create new lesson items, it will simply update the text and settings for matching items. It will also not update files. Note that in order to match items correctly the push operation will only take place if every item's type, order and name match the type order and name in the MiniLesson from which you are pushing.
Adding and Removing Items in Bulk
There is currently no way to add or remove items from MiniLesson activities in bulk. Though not bulk operations, you could export items to JSON and import them in another activity, OR you could use backup and restore.
