Customizing Labels

You can customize the label format for units, lessons, and activities. Click on the user menu in the upper right corner and select Profile. Then click on Course Labels in the left sidebar.

Units, lessons, and activities can be configured separately with a numbering scheme, a starting offset, and a format.

Defaults #

To revert to the defaults at any time, click on the Reset Defaults button and then the Update button.

Numbering Scheme #

These are the numbering scheme options:

• None - No numbering
• Numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …
• Roman Numerals - I, II, III, IV, V, …
• Roman Numerals (lowercase) - i, ii, iii, iv, v, …
• Letters - A, B, C, D, E, …
• Letters (lowercase) - A, B, C, D, E, …

Starting Offset #

This is the starting offset for numbering. For example, if the numbering scheme is 0, and the starting offset is 1, the numbering will be 0, 1, 2, 3, …. If the numbering scheme is Letters, and the starting offset is 3, the numbering will be C, D, E….

Format #

This is the format used to display the label based on the numbering schemes and starting offsets. The special placeholders {unit}, {lesson}, and {activity} are replaced with the unit, lesson, and activity numbers in the resulting labels.

For example, the activity format {unit}.{lesson}.{activity}., along with the default numbering scheme of Numbers and starting offset of 1, will result in label 1.1.1. for the first activity in the first lesson of the first unit.

Following are additional examples:

• Unit 0 numbering

  Unit scheme Numbers with starting offset 0 and format {unit} results in label 0 for the first unit.

• Additional formatting

  Arbitrary additional text can be added to the format. Unit scheme Letters with starting offset 1 and format ({unit}) results in label (A) for the first unit.

• Mixed numbering schemes

  Unit scheme Numbers with starting offset 1; lesson scheme Roman Numerals (lowercase) with starting offset 1; activity scheme Letters, starting offset 1, and format {unit}.{lesson}.{activity}) results in label 1.i.A. for the first activity in the first lesson of the first unit.

• Omitting levels

  Not all levels in the unit/lesson/activity hierarchy need to be included in the format. For example, if the lesson scheme is Numbers with starting offset 1, and the activity scheme is Letters with starting offset 1, the format {lesson}{activity} results in label 1A for the first activity in the first lesson of the each unit (regardless of unit numbering scheme).
