This lesson is superb, Tiffany!
It’s like a one-stop portal to every useful Help page on LearnHub.
Thanks for putting this together for the users!
There are tons of great Support lessons floating around. You might be a bit confused as to where to start. Based on my experiences with Learnhub, here’s my guide through the Support lessons in (hopefully) a logical order of relevance.
I would suggest for you to join a community you’re interested in, answer some trivia, read lessons which appeal to you, and participate in discussions. Your comments and ideas are a vital part to our Hub!
If you don’t know where to start…
So you’re here and you’re not really sure where to start. Here are some useful lessons for a beginner like you :)
Learnhub: Your First 5 Steps
Sign up and learn the ropes at Learnhub!
Communities, Communities 2.0
Communities explains how to join, create and manage Communities. 2.0 shows you the new customizable features of Communities.
Search
Search for what you want to get the results you need.
School Finder
The School Finder is a great feature of Learnhub which shows you many schools and programs abroad which you might be interested in studying.
If you want to participate in discussions…
When participating in discussions or debates, or posting comments to lessons, you will find that sometimes you want to format text (make a list, bold, italicize, etc.) or add an image to emphasize what you’re trying to say.
Help: Commands in Discussions, How to: add images to your comments
If you want to create some lessons…
Now that you’ve participated a little bit, you want to add your own knowledge to communities you have joined, or to one you’ve even created yourself. Lessons is a great way of getting other users interested in your community.
Help: Lessons
This lesson explains the three types of lessons available for you to view and create.
Help: Video Lesson, Help: Presentation and Help: Creating and Publishing Lesson Pages
The three links listed above teach you how to create lessons, whether it is a video lesson, a slideshow presentation, or a lesson page (the most popular type).
If you want to know how to format your lessons so they look nice and pretty…
This is similar to formatting for discussions and comments – but it can get pretty advanced. If you’re creating lessons and you want to making it as useful as you possibly can, check out these tutorials!
Pro Editor, Rich Text Editor
These two editors are used when creating lessons. Pro Editor requires you to have some advanced formatting knowledge, whereas Rich Text is easier like the Microsoft Word program. These lessons teach you how to use either one.
Equation Editor, Tex and Equation Examples
If you’re creating questions that require special math equations, check out these pages to learn how to post them.
How to: Advanced Formatting, How to: Formatting Community Course Descriptions
Here are a couple more great resources for formatting your lessons.
If you want to create some really cool teaching tools…
Trivia and Question Banks are a really popular part of our website. Along with tests and courses, they are a great way to evaluate what you know. They’re also loads of fun!
