Step 1 – DEFINING THE FILE FOLDERS

There is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 folders. The folder types are: 

• Image/Image
• Image/Text
• Text/Image
• Text/Text

The first word of the pair describes the sort of label used for the folder titles (using images or text), whereas the second determines whether the elements to be filed will be images or texts. If you want your titles to be in Text format, write the title in the input field. If you want your titles to be in Image format, you can use an image file already saved in your library (see how) or import a new file from another source (see how).

Feedback

Enter the text for the corresponding feedback. 

Step 2 – ADDING ELEMENTS TO THE FILE FOLDERS

A file folder image is shown with a title in text or image format, depending on what was chosen. Place in each of the file folders the elements that participants should put in those folders.

To add an element, click on Add an element. This will display a new element in the file entitled Element without text. Click on this text to display the information concerning the element. Enter the text for the element, and then enter the corresponding feedback.

Feedback for each folder

Enter the text for the corresponding feedback. This feedback will be more specific than the feedback associated with the file folders, because it will be specific to the element itself.

To remove elements:

Choose the corresponding checkbox and click on Delete the selected elements or Delete this element above the editing zone for the element.
