Creating STEM components ​

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) components typically contain a lot of formulas and are in the HTML format. A STEM component can be used either as a stand-alone course or as a component included into a composition.

STEM components are created through a special wizard. To add a STEM component:

  1. In the LMS management portal, click in the upper-left corner.
  2. Go to **Authoring >**Content libraries. A page with available pre-configured libraries will open.
  3. Click STEM. A list of existing STEM components will be displayed.
  4. Click the add icon .
  5. Fill in the following fields:
  • Course name — name of the course or the article for including into course compositions (depending on whether the STEM component will be used as a course by itself or as part of a course).
  • Article — insert into the field under this heading the theoretical contents from a preliminary prepared HTML file.
InformationPlace to the Article field only the theory and examples, all questions and problems are added separately. See Adding quizzes to STEM components.
  • Tutor guidelines — specify some advice for instructors on how to teach this knowledge component and how to assess learners' work.
  • Min instructor bonus — minimum bonus scores that instructors can add for this STEM assignment to learners' grade.
  • Max instructor bonus — maximum bonus scores that instructors can add for this STEM assignment to learners' grade.
InformationAll these fields must be filled in, otherwise, you won't be able to save the changes.
  1. Click Save. The default grading scale configured by the system administrator will be automatically added to the component.
  2. If necessary, add to the created component attachments, images, and quizzes. See:
  1. Preview the component to ensure that everything is neat and displays properly to learners. To do so, log in to the learner interface under a separate test user.
