Import a Content Template

Content Template — A collection of pre-authored content designed to help instructors and authors build new content from scratch and take advantage of the key capabilities of Möbius.

The key Möbius capabilities that Content Templates promote are:

  • Sophisticated grading routines
  • Mathematical visualizations
  • Interactivity within content

Three types of Content Templates have been developed to get your class up and running faster:

  • Question Templates — A Course Module of questions, each with a distinct grading routine.
  • Interactives — A Course Module with interactive content comprised of Math Apps and Geogebra applets.
  • Plotting Examples — A Course Module with commonly used types of plots.

Once you import a Content Template, you are free to modify it to fit your class.

You can import the entire Content Template Course Module, or select specific components to use in your class.

Content Templates are available in the Sources panel of the Content Repository, or as part of Möbius Foundations (check out Add Möbius Foundations to your class).
