During the summer of 2017, we released a new Buzz UI, giving you the same features and functionality with a cleaner, simpler user experience!
Until all users have switched to the new UI, our Help Center articles will include information for both.
Click the header below that aligns with the Buzz UI version you are using (Old UI or New UI); if you don't know which version you are using, review the differences and/or contact your system admin or Agilix account manager.
Provide students with a description of a folder's activities, goals, potential pitfalls, etc.
Folder landing page content
Students see a folder's landing page content on selecting it in the Course Home (Activities tool). This content can include a folder thumbnail and description, as well as additional metadata, like vocabulary, resources, etc.
Edit your landing page content
To edit a folder's landing page content:
- Open the Editor tool from the Main Menu.
- Select the desired folder and click the pencil (edit) icon.
- In the Landing Page section of the Activity tab, create the primary content using the rich tex editor.
- In the Data tab:
- Add a Thumbnail.
- Add content to the Metadata fields where desired. Your system admin controls which of these fields are visible to students, so contact them with questions. (Some of the fields under Metadata ask for content that, if set up by your system admin, can be used to make the activity searchable in the Digital Library. Contact your system admin to find out if there are fields in your domain that can be used this way.)
- Save.

Suggestion: It would be neat if we were able to add video content to landing pages (course or folder).
