Overview
StudyMate Campus activities are contained in projects such that each topic, exam, chapter or unit could be a project. A new project can be created by selecting the "New Project" button or from a URL shared by another instructor.
A sample project, "Age of Discover", is included by default for instructors and students to explore and test. The 149 items of the "Age of Discovery" project are comprised of 54 Facts, 51 Definitions and 44 Questions.
An instructor sees all of his/her own StudyMate Campus projects in every P.L.A.T.O. course site. Projects can be organized into folders. The "Organize" button is a handy option for instructors to move projects into folders and unclutter the list of projects. A folder containing multiple projects can be recognized by two indicators. The red arrow next to it toggles to allow instructors or students to expand or collapse the folder contents. Projects inherit the rights of the folder.
Students will only see those folders and projects released to them.
