What Can Remote Learning Resource Pages Be Used For?

A Remote Learning Web Page can be created to contain inforation and uploaded files from your Schoolzine Control Centre. Uses for this page are, but not limited to:

• Remote Learning Resources
• Homework for Students to access from home

To create your Remote Learning Resource Web Page you will need to do the follow steps:

1. Create your Media Files Tags which will allow you to upload your files to the Resource page.
2. Create and setup your Remote Learning Page with your Media Files Tags.
3. Upload your files to your Media Library and apply the required tag.

Create a New Media Files Tag

You are able to create your own custom tags to link files to your Remote Learning Resources Page. The Tag will be used to make your Media Files display on the page you have added it to.

Examples of different types of tags could be any of following:

• Year Levels
• Types of Assessment
• Subjects (Maths, English, Science)

To create your Media Files Tag, follow the below instructions:

1. Log into your Control Centre
2. Select the Settings Tab
3. Open the Manage Tags option
4. Select the Add Tag button in the Top Left
5. Populate the Name Field
6. Select Media Files from the Tag Availability box
   This will allow your tag to be used with any uploaded Media Files from the Media Library

Creating A New Web Page

A Web Page will be required for your files to accessible by your readers. Web Pages can then be linked to your Website, SZapp, or simply sent to your readers as a link they can bookmark on their computer.

The below process will assist you in setting up the Remote Learning Web Page.

2. Once expanded, select Web Pages.
3. Select the New Page button.
4. Fill in your Page Title and Page Heading.
5. Leave the Status as Active and the Menu Display as Visible to display the Web Page.
6. Leave the Page Type as New Page.
7. The URL field will create a URL (web address) based off of the Page Title.
   Note: General practice rules apply for URLs (web addresses). Please read the General URL (web address) Rules article if you wish to make changes to the URL (web address).

You will then need to create a new Content Holder to setup the content of your page.

This is where you can add your Media Files Tags.

To add in your Media Files Tags and setup your page content, follow the below instructions:

1. Scroll to the Page Content section

2. Select the New Content Holder button
Please note: You can link a previously created Content Holder by using the drop-down box on the left

3. Input your Content Holder Title

4. Add in any headings and content you wish to display on the page.
You can find the guide on Navigating the Toolbar here.

5. Add the Tag Code: { !media_by_tag:XXXXX! }
Please Note: You will need to replace the XXXXXX with the Tag Value of your Media Files Tag which can be found when you go to the Tag in your account. See the below example screenshot for further information

A QR Code or Quick Response Code is a version of a barcode used to store data and information via a redirect, most commonly to a Web Page or performing an action on your device such as opening YouTube to play a video.  

The Schoolzine Control Centre now has the ability to create custom QR codes from within your admin system. This code can then be inserted onto your newsletter or email communications to point your community to information or resources.

To use a QR code, the user will scan the code with a ‘scanner’ app on your smartphone or tablet (with a camera). There are many free Apps for reading QR Codes available from both the Google Play Store and IOS App Store.

Creating a QR Code

The following will guide you through the process for creating a QR code for use in your outbound communications and newsletters. It is always recommended to test all QR code’s on your own device before sending to ensure that it is pointing to the correct location or file.

1. Log into your Control Centre and select the Content menu tab
2. Select the QR Codes tab
3. Select New QR Code
4. Paste in the full Website Address into the Absolute URL field.
5. Select Save
6. Click Download to save the QR code to your computer.

If you wish to then place a QR code in the content of a newsletter or email, we always recommend placing some information in the content to inform the community on the content that can be accessed by scanning the QR Code.

Editing a QR Code

1. Log into your Control Centre and select the Content menu tab
2. Select the QR Codes tab
3. Select the URL of the code you would like to edit.
4. Select Edit QR Code.
5. Paste in the full Website Address into the Absolute URL field.
6. Select Save to update your QR Code.

IMPORTANT: Editing the Website Address of your QR Code will not update the path of the prior code. You will need to replace the image of a prior code you have supplied to your community.

Deleting a QR Code

1. Log into your Control Centre and select the Content menu tab
2. Select the QR Codes tab
3. Select the URL of the code you would like to delete.
4. Select Delete QR Code and confirm the popup message

IMPORTANT: Deleting the Website Address of your QR Code will not remove the path of the prior code. You will need to replace the image of a prior code you have supplied to your community.

Quicker Navigation in the Control Centre is here:

The Control Centre is used by all Schoolzine Subscriptions. With so many features in one place, you told us manoeuvrability can be challenging. To solve this, we have built a new Control Centre experience that allows single click navigation to all commonly used items.

So what has changed?

• Quick Send, Communicate and Manage SZapp are now at the top of the menu.
• The Dashboard is accessible via the landing page or bread crumbing.
• Submenus have been removed for all items except Content.
  * Contacts is its own menu item.
  * Groups is its own menu item.
  * Students is its own menu item (visible for certain subscriptions).
  * Streams is its own menu item.
  * Events is its own menu item.
• Newsletters is a single click to either SZ built or DIY (based on your subscription).
• Knowledge base and Support can be found in the top right.
