NextPad

Add an object to a course

Requirement: the administration has registered the NextPad tools in ILIAS. If they are missing from the list, see Register the tool in ILIAS.

Steps

ILIAS course Media Practice Seminar on the Content tab. The button Add New Object is marked.
Add a new object in the course.
  1. Choose Add New Object in the course.
Dialog Add New Object. The group Content is marked on the left, the entry LTI Consumer on the right.
NextPad sits in the object type “LTI Consumer”.
  1. Choose the group Content on the left.
  2. Choose LTI Consumer on the right.
Page LTI Consumer with the list of LTI providers: NextPad Idea collection, NextPad Pad and NextPad Quiz. NextPad Idea collection is marked.
The list shows the three NextPad tools.
  1. Click NextPad Idea collection. A quiz works the same with NextPad Quiz, a shared text with NextPad Pad. ILIAS creates the object straight away and opens its settings.
Settings of the new object. Marked are the field Title with the question What should we clarify in the next session?, the checkbox Online, the option New Window and the button Save.
The title becomes the question of the collection, “Online” makes the object visible.
  1. Enter the question of the collection under Title. NextPad takes up to 200 characters.
  2. Tick Online. New objects are hidden from course members otherwise.
  3. Keep New Window.
  4. Choose Save.
Page of the object What should we clarify in the next session? on the Content tab. The button Show Content is marked.
“Show Content” opens NextPad in a new window.
  1. Click the object in the course and choose Show Content. NextPad opens in a new window.

What the lead sees

NextPad with the idea collection from ILIAS. Marked are the line Idea collection · Editing view, the link Back to course and the two moderation buttons next to the first entry.
The lead sees the editing view with the moderation buttons.
  1. Editing view appears above the question. Course administrators and course tutors may moderate.
  2. Back to course leads to the course page in ILIAS.
  3. The tick marks an entry as done, the eye hides it. More in Collect and moderate.

What students see

The same idea collection as a course member sees it. Marked are the line Idea collection · Take part and an own entry with the note Your entry.
Course members see the same collection to take part, without moderation buttons.
  1. Take part appears above the question.
  2. Own entries carry the note “Your entry”. Everyone else sees them without a name.

Good to know

  • NextPad takes the question when the object starts for the first time. If the title changes in ILIAS later, the question stays. It can be changed in NextPad with the pencil.
  • The QR code on the board leads to the object in ILIAS. Whoever scans it signs in to ILIAS and chooses Show Content there. Guests without an ILIAS account cannot get in.
  • Each object has its own collection. A copy of the object starts empty.
  • A course collection cannot be deleted from within NextPad. It is not subject to any NextPad deletion period either.

Try it yourself

Create an idea collection with the question from the pictures in a course and start it. Then write an entry with a test account that is a course member and compare both views. The member view in ILIAS is not enough for this: whoever has started the object once as lead stays lead in NextPad.

What should we clarify in the next session?
