1.3 Tutorial: Inputs and Formatting in Box Editor
Edumaps (Semi)Transparent Background Colors | You can make the background of boxes semi-transparent or fully transparent. To create a semi-transparent background you need to: 1. Edit the box and click “Edit color” (pencil icon). 2. Click “Edit Color” a second time 3. You will now see the transparency slider that you can adjust. If you want to apply the semi-transparent color to the whole box, you have to click on “Fill”. !#transparent Introduction | ✔️ Here you will learn how the inputs in the box editor work: -- {Empty lines between elements}{!#lines} -- {Line breaks and new lines}{!#linebreaks} -- {Make words bold or italic}{!#bold} -- {Lists}{!#lists} -- {Indents}{!#indent} -- {Quotes}{!#quotes} -- {Links with Thumbnails}{!#thumbnails} -- {Links within text}{!#textlinks} -- {Labels for images and links}{!#labels} -- {Code Formatting}{!#code} -- {Use of Latex}{!#latex} -- {Superscripts and Subscripts}{!#supersub} -- {Hidden notes in boxes}{!#notes} -- {Spoilers}{!#spoiler} -- {Text color}{!#textcolor} -- {Background color for Text}{!#backgroundcolor} -- {Headlines}{!#headlines} -- {Horizontal dividing line}{!#divider} -- {Font sizes}{!#fontsizes} -- {Checkboxes}{!#checkboxes} -- {Tooltips for words (popups)}{!#tooltips} -- {Protect content with password}{!#password} -- {Conduct Polls}{!#polls} -- {Generate QR Codes}{!#qrcodes} -- {Popup Message}{!#popup} -- {Insert Countdown}{!#countdown} -- {Create Tables}{!#tables} -- {Markdown}{!#markdown} -- {(Semi)Transparent Background Colors}{!#transparent} ✔️ 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: ``` *italic* and **bold** > Quote List: - One - Two Numbered list: 1. One 2. Two ?? Hidden text (spoiler) 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 <small>decrease</small> the font size of words as follows: ``` <tiny>Tiny Text</tiny> <small>Small Text</small> <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 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. 📝 **Input:** ``` &&count:123&& ``` !#countdown Protect content with password | If you want to hide the content of a box and make it accessible only with a password, you can use the password function. Click on the dropdown arrow in the box editor and select "Password". Alternatively, you can also enter the password directly in the box editor: 📝 **Input:** ``` &&pw:yourpassword&& ``` Switch to the map view, and the content is now hidden and will only be displayed upon entering the correct password. !#password 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 secrect 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 ... <<< ``` 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 briefly. ``` !#timed-spoiler Create Tables | A template of a table can be used through the box editor. https://www.edumaps.de/file/1533249359242115953.png/hjh27kc# 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 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/4113787849728581552.png/i0wsuex Editor Bar Also note the other modules in the editor dropdown. https://www.edumaps.de/file/4094213677896413050.png/6brbb28 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 ``` !#lines 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.` !#linebreaks 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 📝 **Eingabe:** ``` - 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`. Oder aber man umschließt den Link mit geschweiften Klammern`{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 \( x^2 \) und \( x^3 \). 📝 **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 \( x^2 \) und \( x^3 \). ``` 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/15951864615653000476.jpg/unhj8wy 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}{#00FF00} - {dark green 008000}{#008000} - {sea green 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 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 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: <u>Underline</u> 📝 **Input:** ``` ~~Strikethrough~~ <u>Underline</u> ``` Crossed out and underlined: ``` ~~<u>Underline</u>~~ ``` Results in: ~~<u>Underline</u>~~ 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 an exclamation mark 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.

1.7 Tutorial: Anchor Links (Jump Links)
Edumaps 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 | -- {Create anchor links}{!#create} -- {Link text with anchor links}{!#linking} -- {Navigation with anchor links}{!#navigation} -- {Anchor links in text labels}{!#textlabels} -- {Example map with anchor links}{!#example} -- {Anchor Links in Box Titles and Column Titles}{!#titles} -- {Map Sharing Links with Anchor Links}{!#anchorlinks} 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's 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 the plus button and select “Anchor link” from the dropdown menu. https://www.edumaps.de/file/5505635839678785844.png/firi10o Anchor link in the dropdown of the box editor 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 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 -

Check the preview of the certificate of participation. Make sure the graphic is in JPG or PNG format. !#logo Cancel course (by provider) | You can cancel the course as an owner by simply deactivating the “Booking system” option and saving the box. Alternatively, you can simply delete the box. **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} - {ill 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.

For example, if a kindergarten wants to borrow a device from you and does not have an account with Edumaps, create a "student account" within this admin account. Enter the name and optionally the email address. Now you can borrow a device in the calendar using this account. You can also pass the login details to the kindergarten. This way, you can keep track of who borrowed what and when. This also allows you to correctly print loan slips based on the user. !#nonregistered FAQ and Help | FAQ: - How can a user reserve multiple devices at once? The user who wants multiple devices must book them individually. Alternatively, the device renter can create a group of devices and rent them using a box. - Setting blackout times: The device renter books times themselves, and these times are then not available for booking by users. - How can the device number be noted? Simply enter the device number in the box title. - How to completely deactivate rentals (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 rental fees? Enter fees directly into the box content as text. - Can the device renter send reservation requests? Reservations are made on a “User First” basis, meaning the user can directly reserve. Afterwards, the device renter can contact the user and make changes as needed. !#faq Overview of all rental items of the current map | By clicking on the reserve button, a calendar opens. There you will find a red button at the top right "Show all rental properties". https://www.edumaps.de/file/18298272494057822830.png/rslyaf5 Button for the list of all rental properties When you click on it, an overview of all rental properties on the map opens. https://www.edumaps.de/file/4841485844558848417.png/i9avxi3 List of all rental properties on a map This way, every user can see at a glance which devices are available on which days. !#rental-items -

6.3 Tutorial for Admins on Edumaps
Edumaps Create Single-Sign-Ons | With various single sign-on solutions, your teachers and students can also log in to Edumaps. For example: - IServ ({Instructions}{https://www.edumaps.de/1050/1/9p332rdqbb}) - 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. !#sso 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/16664547426370142708.png/ip1uemz Page: Merge accounts Both accounts must be associated with your school. > Please note that a merging of accounts cannot be undone. !#merge 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. text 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. !#update 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# !#loginpass 📑 Table of Contents | -- {Create single sign-ons}{!#sso} -- {List of all accounts}{!#accountlist} -- {Create accounts for teachers and students}{!#createaccounts} -- {Edit accounts}{!#editaccounts} -- {Delete accounts}{!#deleteaccounts} -- {Create classes (template for teachers)}{!#createclasses} -- {Invite users to your school}{!#invite} -- {Merge User Accounts}{!#merge} -- {Update accounts (e.g. school year transition)}{!#update} -- {Create Login Pass for Students}{!#loginpass} List of all Accounts | A list of all existing accounts you find on the page {List of Accounts}{https://www.edumaps.de/users/list}. https://www.edumaps.de/file/10303655347133025389.png/j760x8c List of Accounts !#accountlist 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/5307494396579137730.png/h4e3iit 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/5325215568753792250.png/k2l93yg 1.

7.5 Tutorial: Ideas for Creating Content with the AI Assistant
Edumaps | 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} 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.
