Content Genie now allows users to create a course from a PDF file, providing an alternative to video-based courses!
In addition to pasting a YouTube link, you now have the flexibility to either locate your PDF file or simply drag and drop it into the designated PDF space. After you upload your PDF file, you can select a submission type. If you would like Genie to scan the images from the PDF in the course creation process, simply check the box located beneath the PDF upload area. Please note that selecting this option may extend the time it takes for Genie to generate your course.
Once you are ready, click, "Let's GO!" and Genie will go to work!
Workspace File Embed now includes Microsoft tools.
In addition to embedding Google files in your MobileMind course, you now have the option to embed Microsoft files, including PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents. Furthermore, you can directly display a PDF on the course page, eliminating the need to link it in the Materials section.
When embedding files from Sharepoint, make sure to follow the directions you see when you click on the "How does this work" link.
When you view the course from the Learn side, you will see a button to expand, if the learner would like it to be a bit larger.
Category Management Move
Managing your categories hasn't changed, but the button has moved. You will now see a new button under the Content tab called Manage. Here you will find the ability to manage your Categories, Credit Types, and Standards.
Credit Type
We have a brand new feature in MobileMind called CREDIT TYPE. You can now use this feature to differentiate content into buckets such as On or Off Contract Time, Continuing Education, Salary Advancement Eligibility, etc.
Click Create, then Manage, and then choose Credit Type.
Click New Credit Type from the Upper Right
Type in your credit type and click save. Continue to add your credit types in the same way.
When you create a course, you can now choose to add one or multiple credit types and you can choose how much time to assign to each type of credit. The time does not need to total the amount of time you are awarding for course completion.
In Events, you will go to the Participants page to assign a Credit Type.
Standards
You can assign standards to both courses and events, which helps ensure alignment with the domains utilized during walkthroughs and observations. This feature also allows you to focus on specific standards that your district is prioritizing for the current school year.
Click the Content, Manage, and then choose Standards.
Click New Standard in the upper left.
Type in the name of your standard and then click Save. Continue doing this in the same way until you have all of your standards entered.
When you create a course, scroll to the bottom of the course info page. Start typing the first few letters and then choose which standard(s) you would like to attach to this course.
In Events, you will go to the Details Page and scroll to the bottom to attach Standards to an event.
Event Check In Improvements
QR Code Scan - Automatic Check In
Participants no longer need to enter the join code manually; scanning the QR code will automatically check them in! Please ensure that participants are logged into the MobileMind app before attempting to scan the QR code.
While setting up your event on the registration page, simply toggle the button to activate QR code scanning for automatic participant check-in.
Automatic conference check in when you check into a session
If you have opted to award credit for individual sessions instead of the entire conference, participants will no longer need to check in separately for both the conference and each session. Once they check in to a session, their attendance at the conference will be automatically recorded.
On the participants page when setting up your conference, choose to award credit in the sessions.
Once a participant is checked into a session, they will automatically be checked into the conference.
Event Waiting List
Participants can now join a waiting list if an event has reached its maximum capacity. Upon joining the waitlist, they will NOT be automatically added to the event. Instead, they will receive an email notification if a spot becomes available, allowing them to RSVP for attendance.
To enable participants to join the waitlist, simply navigate to the registration page of the event, conference, or conference session and switch the "Allow Waitlist" option to the on position.
If the event reaches full capacity, participants will be informed that no seats are available, but they will have the option to join the waitlist.
If a spot becomes available, participants will receive an email notification containing a link to "View in MobileMind" and RSVP for the event. Please note that participation will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis.
Participants have the option to leave the waitlist at anytime.
Print Conference Schedule
Participants can now easily print or save the conference schedule or their own schedule.
From the conference page you can choose to continue viewing all the available sessions or you can click the filter button and toggle to see only the sessions you have registered for.
You will then click the Print Schedule button and then use your computer's tools to print or save the PDF.
