| + | We elaborate on preparing your slides to put in your collections [[:folders|elsewhere]] [[slides_cases|in this wiki]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you have your slides and basic properties configured, there are a couple of extra things you do. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You can prepare multiple case collections, but only have a select number enabled at any given time. The same principle applies with [[:control_slidebox|case collections managed via PMA.control]]. | ||
| + | * Each case collection can have its own unique avatar for easy [[:collections_cases|visual identification in the end-user interface]]. Choose from a pre-defined list, or upload your own. Re-sizing of your content occurs automatically. | ||
| + | * A collection can be associated with an arbitrary search keyword, so the collection can be referenced directly in communication with end-users. You may be teaching different classes, or teach the same class at different levels. In the latter case, it can be helpful to have the search keywords //undergrad// and //grad// associated with your respective collections, so you can refer to them as ''https://server/slidebox/?undergrad'' and ''https://server/slidebox/?grad''. | ||

| + | In the example below, you see that two collections are active. The first is temporarily made unavailable. Each organ collection furthermore receives a predefined image from the ''theme 16'' theme. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ ::slidebox_coll_config.png?400 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, each organ collection is associated with a keyword, so it can be referenced directly in email communication with students. | ||
