1.3 Inputs and Formatting in Box Editor
edumaps
editor formatting tutorials
Introduction | ✔️ Here you will learn all the important inputs and formatting options within the box editor. ✔️ There are many formatting options that can be quickly applied. It only takes a few characters. ✔️ The formatting for texts is easy to learn. Formatting at a glance | The most frequently used formats shown at a glance. 📝 **Input:** ``` *italic* and **bold** > Quote List: - One - Two Numbered list: 1. One 2. Two   Indented Text {Linked Text}{https://www.edumaps.de} ``` Use your own thumbnail | To set your own thumbnail of a website, proceed as follows: 1. Take a screenshot of the website. 2. Upload the screenshot into your box. 3. Enter the link to the website directly below the `UPLOAD1` text. 4. Also place an exclamation mark `!` in front of the link (`!LINK1`). This will link the preview image to the external website. 📝 **Input:** ``` UPLOAD1 !LINK1 ``` You can also add a title. Overall, it would look like this: ``` UPLOAD1 !LINK1 My Title ``` Font Sizes | You can set the font size differently for individual words. You can <big>increase</big> the font size and decrease the font size of words as follows: ``` <tiny>Tiny Text</tiny> Small Text <big>Big Text</big> ``` Changing the font size can be used in map titles, column titles, box titles and box contents. !#fontsizes Insert Countdown | If you want to create a countdown, you can use the “Modules” dropdown in the box editor and select "Countdown". Enter the time in seconds for how long the countdown should last. The countdown appears in the preview. Click on it to start the countdown. https://www.edumaps.de/file/6684407601333521179.png/1qvuv7p# 📝 **Input:** ``` &&count:123&& ``` !#countdown Text to Speech | With the “Text-to-Speech” option, you can have any text read aloud in a natural voice. Highlight the text, click on “More”, select “Interactive” and then “Text-to-Speech”. You will be asked to choose the audio language. The language is then defined inside the audio tag. **Examples:** <audio-fr>Je pense que le ciel est beau et paisible.</audio> <audio-en>I like to play football, basketball and chess.</audio> <audio-ru>Пусть в твоём дне будет больше света, чем забот.</audio> 📝 **Input:** ``` <audio-fr>Je pense que le ciel est beau et paisible.</audio> ``` !#tts Automatic List of Contents | You can automatically create a table of contents for all boxes on your map. To do this, open the box editor, click “More”, then “Layout”, and select “List of contents”. https://www.edumaps.de/file/11292992102415716594.png/1tiibgi# Option: Content Overview A complete table of contents will then appear with a link to each box. !#contentslist Conduct Polls | If you want to conduct a survey, where you specify the selectable options, you can use the {poll module}{https://www.edumaps.de/1086/1/xmgkv25gxf/f3u6hrdh5m}. You can find it in the dropdown under “Poll”. The poll must be enclosed within tags, for example: 📝 **Input:** ``` <poll> Option A Option B Option C </poll> ``` !#poll Generate QR Codes | If you want to generate a QR code, you can use the dropdown in the box editor and select “QR Code”. Enter the text or link that should be hidden behind the QR code. The QR code is generated dynamically immediately. You can change the text at any time. The QR code is updated instantly. 📝 **Input:** ``` {qrcode:My secret text} ``` !#qrcodes Popup Message | If you want to display an important message to the visitor of your map, you can use the "Popup Message" for this purpose. Click on the dropdown in the box editor and select "Popup Message". Now, enter your text. The text will be displayed as a popup dialog in the map view when someone visits your map. 📝 **Input:** ``` &&msg:Hello my friends!&& ``` !#popup Multi-line Quotes | Place a `>` at the beginning of a paragraph, and only that paragraph will be marked as a quote. Therefore, you can place `>` before each paragraph if there are multiple paragraphs. Alternatively, you can insert a space on each empty line, and this will connect all paragraphs together. Alternative solution: Place `>>>` at the beginning, and then all paragraphs will be represented as a quotation. You can end the large quote with `<<<`. **📝 Input:** ``` >>> This is a quote over multiple paragraphs ... <<< ``` Markdown | Our editor supports most of the Markdown syntax. Article about {Markdown (Wikipedia)}{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown}. If you have written your documents with Markdown, you can copy and paste their contents directly into our editor. You can display the Markdown syntax by using the dropdown in the box editor and selecting “Syntax on/off”. !#markdown 📑 Table of Contents | ~contents~ Link as Button | If you would like to display a link as a clickable button, you can do this as well. Example: {#Link as Button}{https://www.edumaps.de/} 📝 **Input:** ``` {#Link as Button}{https://www.edumaps.de/} ``` Link text with upload | If you want to link a text that points to the upload, place an exclamation mark before and after `UPLOAD1` and then write the text to be linked, for example `!UPLOAD1! Example PDF`. This will link the text “Example PDF”. Alternatively, you can use curly brackets around `UPLOAD1` and insert the text as follows: `{My Example PDF}{UPLOAD1}`. This will link the text “My Example PDF”. Timed Spoiler | With the timed spoiler you can, for example, recreate learning with flashcards. Example: ??? This is a learning text that only appears for 10 seconds. If you click on the spoiler, it will be displayed for 10 seconds. Then it is hidden again. Timed spoilers are set with `???` at the beginning of a line. 📝 **Input:** ``` Example: ??? This is a learning text that only appears for 10 seconds. ``` !#timed-spoiler Create Tables | You can insert a table template via the box editor. Click “Elements” and then “Table”. https://www.edumaps.de/file/9324582169788765449.png/7yi545p# Insert table **Example:** ||| Head 1 | Head 2 | Head 3 || A1 | A2 | A3 || B1 | B2 | B3 📝 **Input:** ``` ||| Head 1 | Head 2 | Head 3 || A1 | A2 || A3 || B1 | B2 | B3 ``` The table header begins with three vertical bars `|||`. Each new table row must begin with `||`. **Simple Alternative:** If it is a small table, you can enter it directly by inputting the table as a code block. This requires setting 3 backticks (`), then the table content, and then 3 backticks again. Example: ``` Head 1 | Head 2 | Head 3 Content A | Content B | ... 1235678 | 9012345 | ... ``` However, this requires manual formatting. !#tables Half line spacing | Sometimes a simple line break is too tight and an empty line is too wide. For spacing in between, place a tilde `~` at the end of the line. The text wraps and additionally gets half a line of spacing. 📝 **Input:** ``` My text here ~ The text continues ``` Practical for poems and song lyrics: If the last line of a paragraph ends with `~`, the spacing to the next paragraph is also increased by half a line. Note: In lists, tables, and code blocks, the tilde has no effect and is displayed normally.Interactive Checklist | If you want to give your students a task list to tick off, you can use the {“Checklist” module}{https://www.edumaps.de/1162/1/b69pzgpq3uzu/4372nj9g7afu}. You can find it in the box editor under “Modules”. Unlike simple checkboxes, the interactive checklist saves progress for each user. Each student ticks off their own items without changing the box content. **📝 Input:** ``` <check> Read task 1 Fill out worksheet Upload result </check> ``` 💖 An overview of all your checklists with your progress can be found on the {“My Checklists” page}{https://www.edumaps.de/user/likes?check}. Hint: As the map owner, you can see in edit mode which users have ticked off which items. Create a Quiz | If you want to integrate a comprehension question directly into a box, you can use the “Quiz” module. You can find it in the box editor under “Modules”. You define a question and several answer options and mark the correct answer. The students choose an option and immediately receive feedback on whether the answer is correct or incorrect. **📝 Input:** ``` <quiz> How many legs does a spider have? 6 #8 10 </quiz> ``` Editor Bar | If you are working the first time with the editor, then the **editor bar** will help you to format the text. https://www.edumaps.de/file/12222426046715662126.png/u42mo0w# Editor Bar Also note the other elements and modules in the lower section. https://www.edumaps.de/file/3993641260050176802.png/19i23u9# Elements in Editor https://www.edumaps.de/file/4643204334874905613.png/xiklnfw# Modules in Editor Empty Lines between Elements | > Elements (photos, videos, links) have to be divided by empty lines. A contiguous text is recognized as **one element**, even though it continues on the next line. Example: ``` My text with line break ``` > My text with line break ⚠️ If we want to attach an image/video or a file, we have to insert **a blank line** in between. Otherwise the link belongs to the previous text. ❌ **Wrong:** ``` My text with line break New content here ``` ✔️ **Correct with new line in between:** ``` My text with line break New content here ``` Make words bold or italic | Bold with wrapping of two asterisks: **Bold text** Italic with wrapping of one asterisk: *Italic text* 📝 **Input:** ``` **Bold text** *Italic text* ``` Bold and italic: ``` ***bold-italic*** ``` !#bold Line breaks vs. new lines | Line breaks are rendered exactly as they are in the text editor. If you set a new line (with an empty line in front of it), then this counts as a new paragraph. However, if you just type Enter in the text editor and break the text, the text in the view is also broken. For example, the following input is displayed with line break: `It follows a new line.` Simple List | You can generate a simple list with hyphens: - Test 1 - Test 2 - Test 3 📝 **Input:** ``` - Test 1 - Test 2 - Test 3 ``` !#lists Numbered List | Numbered lists can be created with double hyphens `--`: -- test 1 -- test 2 -- test 3 -- Hello and to the next line The numbering is done automatically. 📝 **Input:** ``` -- test 1 -- test 2 -- test 3 -- Hello and to the next line ``` 📝 **Alternative input with numbering:** Make sure to put **a whitespace** before the first number so that the indent is set. ``` 1. test 1 2. test 2 3. test 3 4. Hello and to the next line ``` The numbering can also start with a different number. Create an indented list | A list can be indented by putting **a space** before each hyphen. Example: - One - Two - Three 📝 **Input:** ``` - One - Two - Three ``` **Partial lists** are also possible: - Dog breeds - Dachshund - Shepherd - Beagle 📝 **Input:** ``` - Dog breeds - Dachshund - Shepherd - Beagle ``` Indent Text | Text can be indented by putting two spaces at the beginning of the line. For example: This is long indented text spanning multiple lines. 📝 **Input:** ``` This is long indented text spanning multiple lines. ``` !#indent Text indent with two levels | Text can be indented in two stages: Standard Indent Level 1 Indent Level 2 For the first level, two spaces have to be set at the beginning of the line. For the second stage, four spaces have to be set at the beginning of the line. 📝 **Input:** ``` Standard Indent Level 1 Indent Level 2 ``` Create Quotes | Quotations are created with a `>` at the beginning of the line: > All dreams can come true if we have the courage to follow them. 📝 **Input:** ``` > All dreams can come true if we have the courage to follow them. ``` A second type of quotations can be created with a `>>` at the beginning of the line: >> Errare humanum est. 📝 **Input:** ``` >> Errare humanum est. ``` !#quotes Links with Thumbnails | If a link to an external website is inserted, a **thumbnail** will be generated within 1 minute. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/ 📝 **Input:** ``` https://en.wikipedia.org/ ``` ⚠️ A preview image is only generated if the link stands alone on a line. If the link is within text, it is displayed as a text link. !#thumbnails Link with thumbnail and custom text | If you want to set your own text under the thumbnail image, enter the text **directly on the next line** that follows the link. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/ Website of Wikipedia 📝 **Input:** ``` https://en.wikipedia.org/ Website of Wikipedia ```Set text link (without thumbnail) | If you want to create a pure text link and prevent a link thumbnail image, put an exclamation mark `!` in front of the `https`. Alternatively, you can enclose the link in curly brackets: `{https://...}`. Example: This is a text link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae 📝 **Input:** ``` This is a text link: !https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae ``` or: ``` This is a text link: {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae} ``` Links within Text | If the link is within the text, it is automatically displayed as an inline link - without a thumbnail image. Example of inline link: “This is an example link to https://www.wikipedia.de in the middle of the text.” !#textlinks Link certain Text | If you want to link part of a text, this is also possible. Example: This is a {linked text}{https://www.edumaps.de/}. 📝 **Input:** ``` This is a {linked text}{https://www.edumaps.de/}. ``` Labels for Images and Links | A label (caption) can be assigned for each uploaded image, audio, video file, etc. This label (caption) can also be changed later on by changing the text below `UPLOAD`. `UPLOAD3 Photo of our School` to: `UPLOAD3 Photo of my old School` !#labels Info-Icon at Upload (image/PDF) | If you want to add information to your uploaded image or PDF (such as mentioning the source), you can do this as follows: 📝 **Input:** ``` UPLOAD3 {Source: https://www.externalpage.org/} ``` The text inside the curly brackets is displayed on the info icon when you mouse over or click on it. Example: https://www.edumaps.de/file/9060978978921139325.png/3jev7ad# The info icon also works with the caption: 📝 **Input:** ``` UPLOAD3 Image label {Here is the text for the image} ``` Code Formatting | Set inline code with backticks. Example: `24·x + 12 = 5` `var x = 12;` `var y = 12;` `var z = x + y;` This way, you can also highlight `individual words`. However, they will have a monospaced font. 📝 **Input:** ``` Example: `24·x + 12 = 5` `var x = 12;` `var y = 12;` `var z = x + y;` ``` !#code Use of Latex | Latex as a block with surrounding dollar signs: $$ \int \limits_{2}^{\infty} + \frac{1}{2}·x^{45+y+{\alpha} } $$ Set Latex inline with $ 5x+2^x = 12 $ and continue writing. This can be used multiple times within a sentence $ x^2 $ and $ x^3 $. 📝 **Input:** ``` $$ \int \limits_{2}^{\infty} + \frac{1}{2}·x^{45+y+{\alpha} } $$ Set Latex inline with $ 5x+2^x = 12 $ and continue writing. This can be used multiple times within a sentence $ x^2 $ and $ x^3 $. ``` Note: For latex inside text labels, always use inline latex with `$ … $` and not block latex. !#latex Superscripts and Subscripts | Superscript works with a caret and curly brackets. Example: x^{2y} Subscript works with underscore and curly brackets. Example: x_{1} 📝 **Input:** ``` Example: x^{2y} Example: x_{1} ``` !#supersub Hidden Notes in Boxes | You can add your own notes when you are in edit mode. **These notes are hidden in the map view.** Simply put two slashes `//` at the beginning of the line. The line will not be displayed in the map view. https://www.edumaps.de/file/18277788777790213356.png/eg4c12q# Hidden note in edit mode !#notes Spoilers | Spoiler means: Content can be hidden and it can only be viewed when the user clicks on it. Example: ?? This is a hidden solution text. ?? https://www.edumaps.de/file/18277788777790213356.png/eg4c12q This is a hidden photo. Spoilers are simply set with `??` at the beginning of a line. 📝 **Input:** ``` Example: ?? This is a hidden solution text. ?? https://www.edumaps.de/file/15951864615653000476.jpg/unhj8wy This is a hidden photo. ``` !#spoiler Text Color | Words can be colored in any color. Example: This is a {blue word}{#0000FF}. 📝 **Input:** ``` This is a {blue word}{#0000FF}. ``` To do this, you need to know RGB color codes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Basic_colors Examples of RGB color codes: - {red FF0000}{#FF0000} - {green 00FF00}{#00FF00} - {blue 0000FF}{#0000FF} - {gray 888888}{#888888} - {light grey CCC}{#CCC} - {maroon 800000}{#800000} - {yellow FFFF00}{#FFFF00} - {olive 808000}{#808000} - {lime green 00FF00}{#9BE670} - {dark green 008000}{#008000} - {teal 008080}{#008080} - {navy blue 000080}{#000080} - {aqua 00FFFF}{#00FFFF} - {fuchsia FF00FF}{#FF00FF} - {violet 800080}{#800080} !#hexcolor !#textcolor Headlines | A heading can be set by putting a hash character `#` followed by a space at the beginning of the line. # My Headline 📝 **Input:** ``` # My Headline ``` !#headlines Horizontal Dividing Line | A horizontal line can be set inside a box with three hyphens `---` or `***`. Example: --- 📝 **Input:** ``` --- ``` !#divider Tag Filter | You can set a tag within a box. To do this, place a hash sign `#` directly before a term. Example: #done #school > Multiple tags are also possible. If you click on a tag, only the boxes containing this tag will be displayed. All other boxes will be hidden. If you click the same tag again, the filter will be removed and all boxes will be shown again. Note: A tag consists of one word (without spaces). Periods, hyphens, and underscores within the word are allowed but should be avoided. Tip: You can also link to a map in a way that, when the map link is opened, only boxes with your selected tag are shown. To do this, append to the end of the link: `?tag=mytag` (replacing "mytag" accordingly). 📝 **Input:** ``` #mytag ``` See also: https://www.edumaps.de/1100/1/qom3b15q28/swpwzxd9cy Tutorial: Using Tags and Tag Filters on a Map !#tagfilter Tooltips for Words (Popups) | If you want to explain a certain word, a so-called "tooltip" is suitable for this, which displays an explanation as soon as the user moves the mouse over the word or clicks on the word on a mobile device. Example: An [Ocelot]{The ocelot is a species of carnivore native to Central and South America.} is not an [Axolotl]{The axolotl is an aquatic tailed amphibian}. 📝 **Input:** ``` An [ocelot]{The ocelot is a species of carnivore native to Central and South America.} is not an [axolotl]{The axolotl is an aquatic tailed amphibian}. ``` ⚠️ Tooltips may only consist of plain text and may not contain any links or uploads. !#tooltips Strikethrough and underline words | Strikethrough with enclosing two double tildes: ~~Strikethrough~~ Underlined with HTML syntax: Underline 📝 **Input:** ``` ~~Strikethrough~~ Underline ``` Crossed out and underlined: ``` ~~Underline~~ ``` Results in: ~~Underline~~ Background Color for Text | You can give any word or text a background color of your choice. To assign a background color, just add another hash `#` after the color code to an already colored word. Example: This is a {green word}{#CCFFCC#} and the next one is a {red word}{#FFA1A5#}. 📝 **Input:** ``` This is a {green word}{#CCFFCC#} and the next one is a {red word}{#FFA1A5#}. ``` Colors are specified using {RGB color codes}{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Basic_colors}. Examples of RGB color codes: {Red **#**FF0000}{#FF0000} | {Green **#**00FF00}{#00FF00} | {Blue **#**0000FF}{#0000FF} !#backgroundcolor Subheadlines | A subheading can be set with two hash characters `##` followed by a space at the beginning of the line: ## Second heading 📝 **Input:** ``` ## Second heading ``` Another subheading can be set with three hash characters `###` followed by a space at the beginning of the line: ### Third heading 📝 **Input:** ``` ### Third heading ```Special Headlines | A special heading can be set by putting a dollar sign in front of the hash character, i.e. `$#`: $# Special heading 📝 **Input:** ``` $# Special heading ``` With the use of such headings, texts can be better structured visually.Checkboxes | Checkboxes are easy to create using Markdown syntax. Example: [x] First Element [x] Second Element [x] Third Element 📝 **Input:** ``` [x] First Element [ ] Second Element [x] Third Element ``` 💖 In edit mode, you can click on the checkboxes within a box to check or uncheck them. The state of the checkboxes is saved in the box content. ✔️ Tip: In the box editor, use “Modules” and select the “Checklist” module, which is easier to use. !#checkboxes Bold or ItalicLists and EnumerationsIndent TextQuotationsLinks with ThumbnailsLinks within TextLabels of Images and LinksEnter codeUse LatexSuperscripts and SubscriptsOwn Notes in BoxesSpoilerColor for Text/WordsHeadingsBackground Color for Text/WordsDividing LineCheckboxes

Linking Text with Anchor Links | If an anchor link is associated with a box, you will see the anchor word in edit mode as follows: https://www.edumaps.de/file/7879041079685201312.png/8ixdpl7# Visible anchor link in box content You can now use this link for navigation. -- Open the box editor for the box where the link should be added. -- Write your text. -- Select a word in the text with the mouse and click on the "Insert Link" button. -- Enter your anchor link, for example `**!**#start1`. -- Save the box. https://www.edumaps.de/file/2629309398550568980.png/5zxdvg9# Linking text with an anchor link !#linking Navigation with Anchor Links | When you click on the provided link, the map will scroll to the linked box (where the anchor link is located) and the box will blink three times. https://www.edumaps.de/file/11489287160656521870.png/ke65czi# Jump to the linked box with anchor link Additionally, a small back button will appear at the bottom left of the box. However, you can also use the browser's back button (or the back button on your mouse) to return to the previous box. !#navigation Anchor Links in Text Labels | Anchor links can also be set in text labels. This allows for additional applications: -- Jump from text label to text label -- Jump from text label to box -- Jump from box to text label When jumping to a text label, the text label blinks three times and is briefly marked in red. https://www.edumaps.de/file/18132762259509961118.png/0n77sff# Jump to the linked text label with an anchor link Input for the target text label: `My text here !**#**target` Input for the linking text label: `My {link to the text label}{!**#**target}` !#textlabels Anchor Links in Box Titles and Column Titles | Anchor links can also be inserted into box titles and column titles. To do this, simply use the syntax `!**#**myanchor` and add it to the end of the title. !#titles 📑 Table of Contents | ~contents~ Formatting of Anchor Links | Please observe the following rules: - Anchor links always consist of **one word without spaces**. - Always write anchor links in lowercase. Avoid uppercase letters. - Avoid special characters (except the exclamation and hash character at the beginning). **Wrong:** ``` !#my Anchor ``` **Correct:** ``` !#myanchor ``` !#format Introduction | ✔️ With anchor links (jump links), you can create navigation within a map. To do this, you set self-named anchor links in your boxes and link them, for example, through a table of contents in a box. Create Anchor Links | Let us assume you want to create a table of contents. Follow these steps: 1. Open the box you want to link to with the Box Editor. 2. Click on “More” and from the dropdown menu select “Layout” and then “Anchor link”. https://www.edumaps.de/file/15525133428208861264.png/f3d2dsh# Anchor link in the box editor dropdown 3. `**!**#anchor` will be inserted in the box content (as a template). 4. Rename the anchor as you wish, for example to `**!**#start1`. Make sure that the anchor word is a single word and that the characters `**!**#` are placed directly in front of the word (no spaces, all in lowercase). 5. Save the box. The anchor link is now linked to the box and can be used for navigation (linking). !#create Example map with anchor links | In the following example map, you can see how navigation with anchor links works. https://www.edumaps.de/1053/1/v02a2muunq/e0wf3lp7ma Example: Table of Contents with Anchor Links If you click on a link in the table of contents, the view moves to the corresponding box. If you use the back button on the box or the back button in the browser, it navigates back to the table of contents. !#example Map Sharing Links with Anchor Links | Anchor links can be used for map self-navigation. For example, for a list of all courses in the first box on the map or for a table of contents. However, you can also append an anchor link to your map sharing link to directly link to any box on other maps as well. To do this, simply add the anchor link to the end of the map sharing link with `#myanchor` (without exclamation mark). When you then call up this link, it will automatically scroll to the linked box and the box will blink. !#anchorlinks

2.9 Using Tags and Tag Filters on a Map
edumaps
tags tutorials
📑 Table of Contents | ~contents~ 📌 Introduction to Tags | Tags are **keywords** that help structure content on a map and make it easy to filter. They always start with a hash sign `#` and consist of a single word with no spaces, for example `#school` or `#done`. By adding relevant tags to individual boxes, users can search for specific topics and quickly find similar content. ➕ Add Tags to a Box | To add a tag to a box, follow these steps: 1. Open the desired box in your map. 2. Write a hash sign directly before the keyword, for example: `#mytag`. 3. You can also add multiple tags by using more words with hash signs, for example: `#done #school` It is important that tags are **written without spaces** and only consist of one word. Example: ``` #project #submission ``` This marks the box with the tags **project** and **submission**. You may also use hyphens, dots, or underscores inside a tag, e.g. #my-school #project.1 #school_30 🕵️ Filter by Tags | You can click on a tag within a box. This activates a tag filter: - **Click on a tag:** Only the boxes containing the same tag are shown. - **Click the same tag again:** The filter is removed and all boxes are visible again. This makes it much easier to focus, especially when searching for specific content. **Example:** If you click on `#school`, only boxes marked with this tag will appear. #school 🏷️ Multiple Tags per Box Possible | It is possible to assign multiple tags to a box. Simply add a hash sign before each word you want to use as a tag. **Example:** ``` #exam #math #lesson ``` The box will now appear when filtering for any of these tags. This is especially helpful for making complex content easy to find in different contexts. Here is an example of how teachers can be filtered by subject: https://www.edumaps.de/1212/1/ywmw0cujf7/nqqohuvte2 Our Faculty – Portraits of Teachers ⚠️ Note on Tag Formatting | Please keep the following rules in mind when tagging: - Tags always consist of **only one word with no spaces**. - Special characters (except for the hash sign at the beginning as well as hyphen, dot and underscore) should ideally be avoided. - Tags can be **chosen freely** to categorize your content. **Incorrect:** ``` #my tag ``` **Correct:** ``` #mytag ``` 🔗 Use Tags in Map Links | You can link maps directly so that only boxes with a specific tag are shown when opened. Simply add your tag selection to the link: ``` ?tag=mytag ``` Replace `mytag` with the desired tag. This is particularly useful for focused presentations or sharing specific overviews. 📖 Example of Using Tags and Filters | Assume your map contains the following boxes: ||| Box | Content | Tags || Tasks | List of tasks for the project | #project #todo || Submission | Deadline and submission notes | #submission #project || School | Tips for learning | #school If you click on `#project` or open the map with `?tag=project`, only the matching boxes are displayed. Clicking the tag again removes the filter and shows all boxes. 🎨 Change Tag Colors | The colors of the tags are automatically assigned by the system based on the first letter. #a #b #c #d #e #f #g #h #i #j #k #l #m #n #o #p #q #r #s #t #u #v #w #x #y #z #0 #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 If you would like to use specific colors intentionally, there are currently only workarounds via the tag’s spelling. For example, you can use a fixed prefix. That means if the tag #biology should be red, you can write #0-biology or #a-biology. Direct manual color selection is not possible. 🗂️ Summary | Tags let you easily structure and filter content on your pinboard. Remember: - **Start each tag with # hash.** - **Multiple tags are possible.** - **Format: Only one word, no spaces.** - **Activate filter by clicking a tag.** - **Links can include the tag filter.** This helps you keep track and quickly find relevant information. #school Introduction | ✔️ Use tags to organize the boxes on your map with freely chosen keywords. ✔️ Clicking a tag filters the map and shows only matching boxes. ✔️ You can share map links so that, when opened, only boxes with a specific tag are displayed.

Helpful Ideas | Here are some **helpful ideas** for inspiration: **Evaluation of a Student Map** You can assign a student the task of writing a map on a particular topic. Afterwards, you can instruct the AI with: > "Evaluate the student's content. Rate each box from 1 (poor) to 10 (very good). Create a box at the end that summarizes the entire evaluation." **List Spelling Mistakes** > "Find all spelling mistakes and write them in a new box." **Change Map Structure** > Move all boxes into the first column. Only place the last box into the second column. 📑 Table of Contents | ~contents~ Introduction - Capabilities of the AI Module | The AI can write, invent, edit, delete, or rework texts for you—depending on the task you give it. ✔️ **Create content** Specify the topic and purpose in your task. ✔️ **Modify content** Include a text in your task and tell the AI what to do with it. ✔️ **Expand content** Let the AI write new text. Tell the AI what content you want to add. ✔️ **Remove content** Let the AI modify an existing text and remove contents as you wish. ✔️ The boxes on the right show examples of tasks for the AI. Create Content | **Sample Prompt:** > Add five quiz questions (each with four answer options) to each box according to its topic. **Sample Prompt:** > Add 5 new boxes to the pinboard that describe the characters from Harry Potter. **Sample Prompt:** > Fill all empty boxes with content on the topic of the history of the Weimar Republic. Describe the contents for students of 9th grade in grammar schools. Expand Content | **Sample Prompt:** > Add exercises and solutions for 5th grade to each box on the topic of adding fractions. Use LaTeX for output. **Sample Prompt:** > Expand the info boxes on the topic of "reducing fractions" with explanatory texts and two new common mistakes with short explanations for 5th grade. **Sample Prompt:** > Add further meaningful information to each box that may be interesting for students. In doing so, additional competencies should be conveyed. Modify / Rework Content | **Sample Prompt:** > Change the contents of the pinboard so that instead of addition, it deals with multiplication of fractions. 6th grade level. Adjust the examples and solutions accordingly and provide them in LaTeX. **Sample Prompt:** > Transform the contents of the pinboard so that instead of "converting decimals to fractions" the topic is "comparing fractions." The level should be appropriate for 5th grade. Provide at least three new tasks with sample solutions. Remove Content | **Sample Prompt:** > Remove from all boxes on the topic "converting fractions to decimals" every sentence that addresses or explains the topic of "percentage calculation." The remaining content should remain unchanged. **Sample Prompt:** > Revise each box on the topic "multiplying fractions" by removing all sentences and examples that mention the terms "simplifying" or "expanding" so that only multiplication is covered. **Sample Prompt:** > Remove from all boxes the words "faulty" and "error." Also remove sentences that are longer than 20 words.

| The AI currently used on Edumaps is ChatGPT from OpenAI. You can find the AI assistant at: https://www.edumaps.de/ai A tutorial on how to use it can be found here: {AI Assistant on Edumaps}{https://www.edumaps.de/1056/1/rky4lz7uz7} > All examples listed here can also be used for creating maps and boxes via AI. {See examples}{https://www.edumaps.de/1094/1/39obhnaqrn/9u2o3ko5lw}. Data Protection Information | > All texts entered are sent to the OpenAI API via the Edumaps server. Edumaps does not transmit any of your personal data. On Edumaps, you can delete your requests at any time. **Good to know:** > Limited to text-generating AI like ChatGPT and the input of prompts exclusively in the form of digital text, the following usage scenarios have so far been recommended as privacy-friendly. - The teacher has a private access, free or paid, accepts the prompts from the learning group, inputs them themselves, and shares the results with the learning group. There are no risks for students since they do not interact directly with the platform. - The teacher has access through a third party, provided by the school / organization / state / media center, and the school has signed a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider. Through the third-party access, the teacher can create anonymous student accounts. As long as previously established rules are followed, students face no risks when interacting with the platform. When using the API through a third party, possible risks from user interaction with an AI platform are significantly reduced. The individual user account and metadata from the devices used for access are eliminated, preventing AI providers from linking this information to an identifiable person. Source: https://unterrichten.digital/2024/02/28/chatgpt-datenschutz-unterricht-schule-2024/ **⚠️ Inputs with images and sound are problematic:** > Risks for users of AI platforms from providers like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, etc., primarily arise from the content of prompts if these establish a personal reference. These risks increase significantly when combined with an individual user account with the AI provider. Further risks can arise from metadata such as device identifiers, location data, cookies, and trackers, which allow for user identification. When files like images and audio recordings are included in prompts, additional metadata can be transmitted. Photos and videos depicting people or audio inputs contain further data that can establish a personal reference when transmitted to AI platform providers.

Alternatively, you can simply delete the box. **Question: Are all participants of a course automatically informed by email if I cancel the course?** An automatic email is not sent by Edumaps, as this would lead to mass emails and our mail server would be blacklisted. The function could also be misused to generate mass emails. Instead, proceed as follows: Open the list of all participants. To do this, click on the participant counter on the box. This list will show you all email addresses. You can now copy the emails and send a message to all participants using your email program. Tip: If all courses in your map are canceled, you can export a CSV list of participants from all courses. You can find this CSV export under "Export map". You can then open the CSV file and copy the column with the emails. !#cancel-provider FAQ | In our FAQ, you will find answers to various questions: - {Can we setup the booking module so that only users who are already registered can book the course?}{https://www.edumaps.de/faq#a135000} - {Will people who have not registered an account also receive a certificate of participation by email?}{https://www.edumaps.de/faq#a172000} - {When a user books a course via email, he is automatically logged in, other times he is not.

This also allows you to correctly print loan slips based on the user. !#nonregistered FAQ | FAQ: - How can a user reserve multiple devices at once? – The user who wants multiple devices must book them individually. Alternatively, the device lender can create a group of devices and lend them using a box. - How can the device number be noted? – Simply enter the device number in the box title. - How to completely deactivate lending (e.g., during downtimes) without losing reservations? – Simply hide the box from the map. - How to delete all reservations at once? – Disable the reservations option for the box and save the box. - How to enter lending fees? – Enter fees directly into the box content as text. - Can the borrower send reservation requests? – Reservations are made on a “User First” basis, meaning the user can directly reserve. Afterwards, the borrower can contact the user and make changes as needed. !#faq Overview of all lending items of the current map | By clicking on the reserve button, a calendar opens.

Create Single-Sign-Ons | With various single sign-on solutions, your teachers and students can also log in to Edumaps. For example: - IServ ({Instructions here}{https://www.edumaps.de/1050/1/9p332rdqbb/pi0cqyd7uz}) - Edupool - various state solutions Important: Admin accounts should never be used personally and are never accessible via single sign-ons. For your own maps, you should definitely use a teacher account. However, you can always use the admin account to manually create accounts without single sign-on. Merge User Accounts | On the page {List of all Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list} you will find the button “Merge accounts”. Here you can merge two accounts with each other, meaning, combine the data. https://www.edumaps.de/file/16489726023722218625.png/rlwhqvn# Page: Merge accounts > Both accounts must be associated with your school. > Please note that a merging of accounts cannot be undone. Update accounts (e.g. school year transition) | To update student accounts (for example, if the class levels change at the end of the school year), you can use the CSV import method. -- Go to the {Create Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/create} page with your admin account. -- Click on “Create via CSV File" and upload your CSV file. -- **Important: The system requires unique names. The name can only appear once. If "Max Muster" appears twice, you must set "Max Muster 2" for the second user with the same name.** -- The CSV must contain the entry `Name,Email,Class` per line for class updates. The email can be empty, for example: `Max Muster, ,10B` -- Then submit the file. A verification report will be automatically generated by the server indicating which data will be updated. -- Correct the data as needed (you can change the data directly in the verification table). Click "Check All" again and then, if no errors are shown, click the “Create User” button. When importing CSV files, the server checks whether the respective name and email address are already contained in the Edumaps user database. The name takes precedence in the check (names must be unique). After uploading the CSV file, you will see a verification report that lists all changes in detail. **Tip:** As an admin, before importing CSV files, delete all created classes under {Manage Classes}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/sets}. Then, during the CSV import, activate the option "Create the classes listed in the table as new classes and replace old classes". This way, all classes will be newly created. Follow-up question 1: “Do maps shared by teachers remain accessible in the student accounts?” Answer: In fact, each student will still find the maps shared via class in their “Received Maps”, even if the class is deleted. Follow-up question 2: “Do maps created by students themselves remain accessible?” Answer: Yes, deleting classes has no effect on self-created maps. **Tip:** Instead of creating classes with names like “7A”, it has proven useful to use the year level, e.g., “2011 (A)”. This way, you can avoid problems related to changing classes. Create Login Pass for Students | It has been found helpful for young students to create a login pass. The login pass contains all necessary login information as well as a QR code that logs the student in directly upon scanning. > As an admin, you can always print login passes immediately after {creating accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/create}. https://www.edumaps.de/file/11135525094453912591.png/z2ju3yc# Example of a login pass Should you wish to create a login pass later, it is only possible by assigning a new password. - Go to the {list of all accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list}. - Find the student and click on "Edit". - Set the new password. Then the following appears: https://www.edumaps.de/file/15406207708816798663.png/pf2jnn6# By clicking "print here," the login pass for the student will be displayed to you. https://www.edumaps.de/file/6884693863079475564.png/kzrfyjb# 📑 Table of Contents | ~contents~ List of all Accounts | You can find a list of all existing accounts on the page {List of Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list}. https://www.edumaps.de/file/4342849577590385530.png/iqtlfms# List of Accounts Remove User from School | On the page {List of Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list}, you can remove teacher and student accounts from the school/organization. Click on “Remove” and confirm. https://www.edumaps.de/file/13928116068303396543.png/2w7rqwc# Option “Remove user” If you remove a student or teacher from the school, the account will be downgraded to a basic account. This means the user will no longer have access to the “My School” or “Media Center” pages. In addition, they will no longer be able to access licensed media. Manual: “Edumaps for Admins – Step by Step” | Further knowledge and guidance on handling admin accounts can be found in the following manual: https://www.edumaps.de/folder/1022/1/dqjte8pcqe6r/sj6cchzgiq87 Manual: “Edumaps for Admins – Step by Step” Create Accounts for Students and Teachers | On the page {Create Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/create} you can see how many student and teacher accounts can be created and how many have already been created. https://www.edumaps.de/file/11700609860462318251.png/gij6178# Page: Create Accounts At the bottom you find **3 options** for creating new accounts: - Create without names/emails - Create via list of names/emails - Create via CSV file Choose the option that suits you and create new student and teacher accounts. https://www.edumaps.de/file/11189886007249998534.png/adn0bvm# 1.

Introduction | ✔️ With an admin account, you have a powerful, responsible tool at your disposal. ✔️ With an admin account, you can centrally manage the users, classes, and access for your school or organization. ✔️ This guide shows you step by step how to create, edit, invite, remove, or merge accounts, prepare classes as templates, and use administrative tasks such as CSV imports or login passes. > Please note: Admin accounts are a tool of responsibility.Create prepared classes/groups as presets for teachers | In principle, each teacher creates their own classes and groups, but a lot of time can be saved if you create classes with the admin account. Because the classes created by the school admin are available to all your teachers as “Prepared Classes”. With an admin account you can create classes as follows: 1. Go to the {Manage Classes}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/sets} page. 2. Create classes. 3. Add students to each class. https://www.edumaps.de/file/8080204183258317251.png/wyzpbzc# Add students to the class As soon as you have created classes, all your teachers will see a “Prepared classes” button on the {Manage classes}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/sets} page. When teachers click on it, they come to a page where they can use the prepared classes. Delete Accounts | Accounts can easily be deleted from the {List of Accounts page}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list}. Just click on the trash icon on the right, check if it is the correct account, and then confirm the deletion. https://www.edumaps.de/file/9365317600636044892.png/qkbapo5# Option: Delete Account https://www.edumaps.de/file/7216829327217388886.png/17l6i0d# Delete Account Page > Users who still have maps in their account cannot be deleted for data protection reasons.

Create Classes/Groups | Each teacher can create their own classes or groups on the {“Manage classes & groups”}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/usersets} page. Classes are not “school-wide”, but are created by each teacher for their own account. You can also create any groups instead of classes (e.g. a math remedial course). The maps can then be distributed to the students in the specified groups (“Share map to class”). Each student in the selected group will then receive a notification on Edumaps. Classes or groups are created once and are available to the user in Edumaps and also in Matheretter. 📑 Table of Contents | ~Contents~ GDPR compliant | https://www.edumaps.de/file/16119568313172475874.png/2uazwbf Edumaps is GDPR compliant General Information | ✔️ With Edumaps you can: - Create pinboards, timelines and stickerwalls - Create weekly plans - Work in collaboration in real time - Upload files in 100+ formats - Embed media from Edupool and Mundo - Manage students and teachers - Record microphone and webcam directly - Import existing Padlets - Export maps as Moodle courses - Create bookings/courses - Automate Certificates of participation - Organize Reservations for Rentals - Write texts with your team in Teamtext - Create content with our AI Assistant Our startpage contains all the important information and details.
