How do I download my learners' posts without having to download them one by one?

Widgets are the tools with which course administrators create and build the pages of their course.

The Gallery widget is paired with Post widgets. It allows users to see and comment on any work submitted through the paired Post widget.

When you add a Post widget to a page, the Gallery widget is automatically added beneath it. However, if you have deleted the initial Gallery or need to add a new one for any other reason, you can do so by following the instructions below:

Go to the page in your course where you'd like to add this widget.
Select Edit mode.
In the lefthand widget menu, click on the gray container with the word Core and toggle it to Advanced.
Click on the Gallery widget icon. (or you can hold and drag it wherever you'd like on the page).

After adding the Gallery widget to your page, you can set it up by following the instructions below:

Click on the Setup tab at the top of the widget.
Edit the widget settings.

Title: You can enter a title or some instructions here if you'd like. This is optional.

Gallery curation

Show posts from: Here you choose which widget's posts will appear in the Gallery. You can choose one or all on the page.

Viewing options

The number of items loaded initially: You can choose how many posts will load by default when the learner will visit the page.

Number of items loaded when the user clicks "Load more": You can choose how many additional posts will load when the learner clicks on "Load more".

Default sorting order: You can choose which posts will be on top: newest or the ones with the most likes.

Advanced options: You can tick the box in this section if you'd only like one post per learner to appear in the Gallery.

Completion settings

Completing activities on a page is how learners make progress and receive their certificates or complete the course.

As the course administrator, you can modify how each widget tracks this progress.

To do this, click on the Completion Settings tab on the widget and choose one of the following options:

No completion tracking: This widget will not count towards completion.

Completed when viewed: This widget will count as completed as soon as the learner scrolls past it on the page.

There are no share settings for this widget, however, if you want to control who/when can view posts, you can set that up in the relevant Post widget.

Administrator / facilitator view

As course administrator or facilitator you will see everything learners post via the Gallery widget based on the settings described above. In addition, if you have set up due dates for a page, you will see posts that were made overdue marked with a red icon.

Is it possible to have the gallery widget show responses from multiple widgets on the same page, but not using the "All widgets on this page" option? For example, if I have 4 post text widgets on the page, how can I change the gallery settings so that it shows responses from 2 of those post text widgets?

  Danitra Blue Hi. Currently, there is no option to select multiple specific widgets. We suggest posting this a feature request through our Suggest a Feature page. Thank you.
