Can I add extra resources or assignments to the labs in Gateway?
Yes, you can add additional resources to the labs in Gateway. How you will add additional resources depends on the manner in which you and your students are accessing your Gateway product.
Gateway via LTI integration:
If you are using an LTI link to provide each lab manual to your students, create an assignment in your course as you would normally. Depending on your LMS, you can then either attach additional files and links to this assignment, or you can create a new assignment and add the additional resources to it with its own submission requirements.
Gateway via SSO:
If you are using an SSO connection to the Carolina Science Online (CSO) platform to provide each lab manual to your students, you will create assignments in CSO. These assignments will then appear in your course automatically. To add an additional resource to an assignment, you will:
- From your CSO home page, click the product that contains the lab manual you wish to assign.
- On the resource you wish to assign, check the box to “Add to assignment”.
- You can assign multiple Gateway resources to a single assignment by repeating Step 5. The newly added resources will appear in the pop-up next to the initial resource.
- To add an additional non-Gateway resource such as a word document, click on the “Add File” button in the bar at the top of the assignment pop-up. To add a link to an external resource such as a video, click the “add link” button in the bar at the top of the pop-up.
- If the resource has been successfully added, it will show up next to the lab manual in the assignment pop-up.
- When your assignment contains all the desired resources, click “Create Assignment” at the top right of the pop-up and continue with assignment creation.
