The Table of Contents (TOC) is the organizing structure that links rubrics and standards, and it is the interface that connects the student to the assessment system.
Your TOC becomes the navigation structure for the student’s portfolio. Students will be given the task of linking artifacts to the TOC sections of the portfolio, and adding reflections and other content. One way to approach the organization of TOCs is to group together critical learning tasks that are related, either by course number or their relationship to a standard, benchmark, or transition point in the curriculum. The goal is to make clear to the student where their work should be situated in the portfolio.
Creating a table of contents (TOC) - Choose the Tables of Contents option from the Admin drop-down menu. Click the 'Add New Table of Contents' link. Enter the name of your TOC. You may want to assign your TOC to a department, if you want access to be limited to certain users. Leave the TOC unassigned, if users from multiple departments will need access to it.
Hiding a TOC - You may want to hide Tables of Contents so that new students will not use them to create portfolios. To hide a TOC, assign it to a department that you have created for this purpose. Then, hide the department. (see 'departments: Hiding a department') The hidden TOC will not be visible to the user on the TOC drop down list, when they are creating a new portfolio. Hidden TOCs and departments are still visible to administrators.
