Rich Text Updates

In order to improve clarity for student users, we have added rich text formatting to Activity Descriptions as well as Resource Kit Descriptions. This allows you to Bold, Italicize and Underline important words or phrases. You also have the ability to add links to these text boxes.

April Resource Kit Feature

It’s time to explore another high-quality Resource Kit (RK) from the MDL platform! This month’s RK was (re)created by the Field Museum. Check out the Resource Kit Feature for April called “Native Truths: Indigenous Astronomy”. Through this RK “students will learn of the importance of Sky and Stars to the past, present, and future of Native peoples.” This Resource Kit was updated by our team to make the RK more student-friendly and engaging. Learn more by exploring the RK here!

Website Updates: Object Folders & Media Uploads

We have made improvements to the Objects page! Just like in the creation and organization of Media, folders can now be created to organize your Objects. This improvement will quickly ease your search for Objects as you utilize your collection in the creation of Resource Kits.

Website Updates: Media Folders

We have made improvements to the Media page! Aside from the new infinite scroll layout of page, improved sorting, and responsiveness, folders can now be created to organize your Media. Multiple media can be selected and moved between folders. Holding Shift and clicking two Media/Folder cards will select all cards between the two.
