So I'm now working on the case.
I've just clicked the case
that I wanted to edit
that was on the 'My Labyrinths' list
and it automatically comes
up with the 'Details' page.
Now from here, I'm going to show you
the visual editor slide.
So on core layout
on the left-hand side over here,
you need to click 'Visual Editor'.
And what this does is it basically shows
you your entire case from start to
finish and the order that it runs
in and the links between the different nodes.
So as you can see at the top here,
I've got the "introduction slide".
Then it moves in a linear fashion
through the case.
Then we get to this "decision slide"
and the student will
have to choose between option 1, 2 and 3.
And there are different outcomes for
these options. Then these options all come
back together to summarise
the case and then the case ends and
it's over and the student will go back to
the original home page of Open Labyrinth.
So visual editor is quite
useful because it's like having
post-it notes laid out so that you can
see the format of your case.
So all these different boxes,
they represent nodes and
basically like a slide or a different topic.
Then we've got the arrows between the nodes.
And that shows you how they're linked.
So if I, for example,
want to delete one of these links,
I've changed my mind and I
don't want it to be there anymore.
For example, this one here,
what I do is click on the arrow and
this 'Link Manager' box appears. At this point
I can decide, do I want
the arrow to go in the direction
it's currently going?
Do I want it to actually go
in the opposite direction?
Do I want it to go in
both directions or do
I want to delete it altogether?
In this instance, I want to delete it.
So I click 'Delete', 'Apply'.
And as you can see, there's no longer
a link between these nodes.
Now the problem with this would be is if
the student chose this option (ption 3),
and the outcome, from here
they wouldn't be able to finish
the case but they'd also have
no option to go anywhere else. It just ends.
So I'm now going to make this link here,
a dual clicker, which
means that once they get
here, they're directed back.
So I'm going to click the arrow again,
the link manager appears
and I'm going to choose 'Dual'.
And now, as you can see,
the student would come from
"option 3" to the outcome.
And then they can go back.
So this one also needs to be dual.
And now they will be drawn
this way and then back
to the "decision slide".
The visual editor is also a way that you can
delete and also create new nodes.
So, for example, if I decide I
don't want this "case history" node anymore,
for some reason I don't need it,
I just click on it. And this tab option
appears. Now I don't want
'Node Content' because I'm not
editing this node at the moment.
I want action, so I'm going to click
'Actions' and then choose to delete this node.
It says "Are you sure you want to delete it?"
And I say, yes.
And now this node has disappeared.
However, as you can see now,
there's a gap between these two nodes.
They don't link in any way.
This means the student would just be stuck on
the "introduction slide" and
wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
So to now create a link,
I'm going to click the top
left-hand button on
the "introduction slide" and
this little arm appears.
I'm going to pick it up and drag it
down and drop it on "progression of case".
And as you can see, there's now
a little arrow going in this direction.
If I decide from the "introduction slide",
I actually want another node,
I actually choose the left-hand bottom button
and a new node appears. Here it is.
I pick it up by hovering
over the dark grey section and that
means I can lift it and I can track
it and I can do this with all the nodes
if I wanted it to look slightly different.
I'm going to change this arrow here to
a dual function so
they can go back and forth.
So I open up the 'Link Manager' again,
click 'Dual' and 'Apply'.
And now the students, when
they're on the "introduction slide",
can either go to the new node
or to "progression of case".
When you're on visual editor,
even though it says autosave it
is best if you save it yourself as well.
So you need to come over here to
the left-hand side toolbar
and make sure you click save.
Wait until it says "Update has been
successful" and now your case
will have saved everything.
