Managing large online units in MyLearn just got a whole lot easier! MyLearn’s latest update introduces a time-saving feature – Bulk Actions. This new addition allows you to perform actions on multiple activities or resources at once, streamlining the process of unit management. Whether you’re updating visibility, moving content, or changing availability dates, bulk editing simplifies everything. Here’s how this exciting feature can make your life easier!
Why Bulk Actions Matter
Before Bulk Actions, unit editing could be tedious, especially when managing several activities or units. Imagine needing to hide 10 assignments or move a set of resources across weeks – previously, you’d have to do it one-by-one, which could eat into your valuable time.
Now, with Bulk Actions, you can select multiple items and apply changes to them in one go. This means more time focusing on your students and less time wrestling with unit management!
What You Can Do with Bulk Actions
The new Bulk Actions feature gives you the power to manage multiple items at once. Here’s a quick overview of what you can achieve:
- Move Multiple Activities or Resources: Rearrange several items at once by selecting them and moving them to a new section of your unit.
- Show or Hide Items in Bulk: Make several activities visible or hidden at the click of a button.
- Edit Availability Settings: Adjust when multiple activities are available to students, all at once.
- Duplicate or Delete: Need to copy or remove content in bulk? You can now duplicate or delete multiple activities with ease.
How to Use MyLearn Bulk Actions
Using the Bulk Actions feature is simple. Here’s a quick guide to get started:
- Turn Editing On: Start by enabling Editing mode in your unit.
- Open Bulk Edit: In the section where the activities are located, click the three dots (⁝) at the top of the section and choose Bulk edit.
- Select Your Items: Check the boxes next to the items you want to edit.
- Apply Your Action: Choose what you want to do – move, hide, show, duplicate, or delete – and apply the changes!
- Confirm Changes: Finalise your changes, and voila! You’ve just bulk-edited your unit content.
Saving Time, Improving Efficiency
This feature is a game-changer for unit management. Instead of going through the repetitive process of editing items one-by-one, you can now handle everything in batches. Whether you’re setting up a unit or revising content mid-trimester, Bulk Actions allows you to make changes quickly and efficiently, giving you more time to focus on teaching and engagement.
