  2. Click on the Turn editing on button in the unit title bar:
    Turn editing on button
  3. In the section where you wish to add the item, click the Add an activity or resource link:
    Add an activity or resource link
  4. Click the resource or activity type you wish to add, such as an Assignment or a Book:
    Activity and resource picker example
  5. Customise the settings for your new tool and then click Save and return to unit to save your changes.

Note that with some tools, such as the Book, Quiz, Feedback or H5P tools, you will need to then select the activity in your unit to customise the content of that activity.

For more information on these activities or resource, please see the LEO Guides: Tools page. The Technology Selector on the Tools page may also assist you in choosing the correct tool for the outcome you wish to achieve.

The Duplicate feature enables you to quickly duplicate an item, making an exact copy of the item that you may then customise.

When duplicating resources or activities, all existing content and settings are copied across to the duplicate item, with some exceptions (see below).

How to duplicate an activity or resource

  1. In your LEO unit, turn the editing on.
  2. For the activity or resource you wish to duplicate, click the Edit link, then click the Duplicate option:
    The duplicate function in the edit menu
  3. The duplicate will be added to the unit directly below the item you duplicated. You may now edit the settings of the duplicate resource or activity.

What is not copied over to a duplicated item?

When copying any items, all activity settings and resources are copied, however student data is not included in the duplicate. For example, if you duplicate an Assignment activity, the duplicate will contain none of the submissions made to the original Assignment activity.

When copying specific activity types, some other exceptions apply:

  • Duplicated Quiz activities will not make copies of the questions used in the quiz (both the original and duplicate will have include the same questions).
  • Duplicates of Turnitin Assignments will have their rubric or grading form detached. You will need to edit the settings of this assignment and attach the rubric or grading form again.
  • Duplicates of Announcements is possible however only news posted in the original Announcements will appear in the Latest Announcements block.
