@MeeksonHundoo is there an update to this unit? Will it be ready for Monday? I'd like to show the SMEs. Thanks!

[MeeksonHundoo]

Hello @kmarjanovic I've added the overview and Unit 1 to Bookdown.

[kmarjanovic]

@MeeksonHundoo could you please provide the bookdown link?

[kmarjanovic]

Hi @MeeksonHundoo Could you help with formatting issues in Unit 1? Linking urls, embedding videos, etc.

Please see for examples: https://ma-lead.github.io/ldrs591/introduction-to-scholarly-inquiry.html https://ma-lead.github.io/ldrs664/the-heart-of-a-teacher.html

@MeeksonHundoo I've done some U1 edits:

• [x] Take out tips for instructors
• [x] embed videos (see code in topic 1.1)
• [x] add activity boxes
• [x] add media boxes

I still need help with the following

• [x] fix image (not sure why this code didn't work: a young woman taking a break from technology

I had to stop at Activity 1.3. Could you continue with edits?

[MeeksonHundoo]

Hello @kmarjanovic thanks for making the edits. I continued with editing and have made all the edits. Could you please take a look now and let me know if any changes are needed ? Here is the link: https://jubilant-system-53a680b6.pages.github.io/introduction-to-the-writing-centre.html Also, link https://miro.com/wisemapping.com/ under Learning Activity 1.3 is not correct.

[MeeksonHundoo]

Hello @kmarjanovic I've made the aforementioned changes. However, I could not enlarge the first Canava video and also the 1.4 is not there in Atom. I don't know where that figure is being pulled from? Requesting you to please take a look and advice.

[kmarjanovic]

Hi @MeeksonHundoo Thanks so much for these changes! I can't see the book online now since we've hidden the units...so things like the 1.4 wouldn't show in Atom - as the numbering system is generated. Is this the code for not showing numbers? {-}

I'll check Atom again - and I suppose we just rely on RStudio to see the preview until we're ready to show a unit, correct? @cmadland can we show Unit 1? (Please let me know how)
