TOC Page- About TOCsTables of Contents (TOCs) are made up of sections and sub-sections that, if chosen by a student making a portfolio, will represent different sections of that portfolio. In the example below, there are 2 sections (1. "Discipline Knowledge" and 2. "Developmental Knowledge"). The Discipline Knowledge section also has 4 subsections underneath it (labelled 1.1 to 1.4).
When this TOC is used by someone making a new portfolio, it may look something like the image below:
You can see the Discipline Knowledge and Developmental Knowledge sections listed on the left, under the Home Page link. The text (My Inspiration) and the picture have been added by the portfolio owner. Remember that the overall look of their portfolio is decided by the Theme they use- the banner, where the links are, the color of the page, and so on, can all change depending on the Theme. The TOC simply establishes which sections and sub-sections will be present in a portfolio. It also important because you can only assess work that is based on a TOC section that you've linked a rubric to. In the example below, you can see the sub-section 1.1 Lesson Planning that you get to by clicking Discipline Knowledge, and following the sub-section link to Lesson Planning. As an administrator, once you have linked a rubric to any of these TOC sections, the corresponding portfolio pages can then be submitted by your students for assessment.
Students adding their pages to a TOCA portfolio author can add their own pages to your TOC sections if you haven't checked the lock option (Edit a TOC and it's at the top of the page- see below) .
If students have created their own pages, their new pages can only be submitted for assessment if they are in a TOC section that has a rubric attached that Applies to sub-pages. (see below)
FramesTOCs not only determine which portfolio sections will be present, but you can also include placeholders to encourage students to put certain pieces of work here. These placeholders are called Frames, and you can see an example of 2 frames that show up on the Lesson Planning sub-section below:
The two frames shown here are indicated by the titles "Reflection:" and "Content:" . The student has filled in a paragraph of writing for the Reflection frame. When you're looking at the TOC page as an administrator, you'll know if you've added a frame to a section, because you'll see them mentioned in the Page Layout column, shown below:
When the student clicks the Edit icon next to the frame in their portfolio, they have a chance to enter information in from a screen like the one below. As an administrator, you can inlcude hints in the description for them, and link to Resources (such as Word docs or URLs) to give them more information about what you want them to do.
In the case above, the Description will only be shown to the student editing their portfolio- those viewing the student's portfolio will not see it. You can decide whether this will also apply to the heading of a Frame or any optional question that you've included. |
