8.1 iLAP Section Arrangement

If you are subscribed to IDEALS, you can convert your completed learning design into a practical online course on the IDEALS Learning Management Platform (iLAP). (Click here to subscribe!)

Figure 8.1: iLAP Section Arrangement

We offer two modes for the conversion: Curriculum Component (CC) mode and Lesson mode.

• You can switch between the two modes at any time by clicking the button in the top-right corner, without losing any data.
• In CC mode, the system automatically creates course sections based on your curriculum components, so no additional effort is required.
• In Lesson mode, you manually build course sections, arranging learning tasks into individual lessons—similar to a traditional lesson plan.

Revising and Rearranging a Task

Below is a sample overrun lesson. We will need to revise the task details or move the task to a different stage or lesson.

Figure 8.5: A sample Overrun Lesson

1. Alert for Overrun Lesson Plan       Figure 8.6: Alert for Overrun Lesson Plan   Only tasks assigned as in-class activities are counted toward the "Designed In-Lesson Time". If the total time for in-class activities exceeds the 35-minute limit set in the Course Information section at the beginning, you will see "95/35 min" displayed in red as a reminder, along with a button next to the In-Class Session.

2.  Rearranging a Task   To address the lesson overrun issue, you can consider utilizing pre-class and after-class time to make teaching and learning more flexible. Please refer to the introduction below for instructions on how to move a task in the lesson builder.   Figure 8.6: Moving a Task (1)    By clicking the button, a pop-up window will appear, allowing you to move the task to a stage in a different lesson.   Figure 8.7: Moving a Task (2)   Tasks can be moved to a specific stage in the targeted lesson by clicking either an empty block ("Pre-class", "In-Class", or "After-class") or an existing task name.

*Please repeat the mentioned steps to complete the lesson plan.
