Using Teaching Plans
In addition to the basic teaching plans provided, you can create and use your own teaching plan form. If you add an XML file and an HTML file to the TeachingPlan folder, users of the Teaching Plan Wizard can use your added document.
To create and use your own form for the Teachin Plan Wizard, you need an XML file that contains the structure of the dialog boxes and an HTML file into which information from the dialog boxes will be inserted.
To create your own form
- Press Ctrl+O and open the basic form files sample_basic_1.htm and sample_basic_1.xml. If you hold down the Ctrl key and select several files in the Open dialog box, you can open several files at once. The basic form files are located in the folder where Namo WebEditor is located in the “lib\TeachingPlan” subfolder.
- First open the HTML file (sample_basic_1.html) in the Edit window and change it as you want.
- Set the names of the cells where the information entered in the Teaching Plan Wizard will be inserted in this form: {{name}}. The names should be specific as they will be used in the XML file as well.
- Repeat step 3 for all of the property names and press Ctrl+D, then save the HTML file in the TeachingPlan folder under a new name (ex: my_sample.htm).
- Now open the XML file (sample_basic_1.xml). The XML file determines the structure of the wizard dialog boxes.
- Double-clickthe element that you want to edit and modify the information.
-
- A: This is the name that will be listed in the Teaching plan type drop-down list in the Teaching Plan Wizard. Choose a name that is different from the names of existing teaching plan forms (ex: My ICT Teaching Plan).
- B: This is the HTML file to which the information input in Teaching Plan Wizard dialog box will be output. Enter the name chosen in step 4 (ex: my_sample.htm)
- C: This is the information that makes up the wizard dialog box.
- D: This is the name of the variable used to transmit the information to the HTML file. Use the names entered in step 3.
- After editing all of the information, press Ctrl+D and save the XML file under a different name (ex: my_sample.xml).
