Use the Content Manager technology preview

You can search for specific content (Example — assignments, lessons, questions, etc.) within the new Content Manager UI in Möbius.

IMPORTANT: New Content Manager features are being rolled out in stages. Updates are planned on a fortnightly schedule separate from other Möbius updates, and any features kept from the Content Repository will be developed and enabled when ready. Check out Understand the Content Repository for help with any features yet to be implemented in the new user interface.

Copy inherited content

A child class can be created to inherit content from its parent class (check out Create a child class).

In the Content Manager of a child class, the Location of the content indicates if content is located in the parent class, and hence is inherited by your current class:

Inherited content can only be edited from the class it's originally located in, and can't be edited in the child class.

However you can copy the content to your current class, which makes a separate copy of the content that you can then edit to suit your class's specific needs.

TIP: This action is the same as cloning content into your class through the Content Repository (check out Clone content).

To make a copy of inherited content:

1. Search for the content in the Content Manager (check out Search for content).

1. Click Copy to class on the pane of the specific piece of content.

1. A dialog will appear indicating your content was successfully copied. Select Close to return to the Content Manager.

Import content

Content from outside sources can be imported from your device into your Möbius class.

You can import Möbius content that has previously been exported as a content .zip file, or you can import and convert external content, either from a written document or from a file that's been exported from your Learning Management System (LMS).
