Create side-by-side items

The Side-by-Side template allows you to display a resource and an interaction side-by-side. You can also convert existing items to a side-by-side format.

Create a side-by-side item

1. From the main navigation menu, choose Items.

2. Click New Item (Redesigned).

3. Enter the item Properties.

4. Select Build.

5. Click the Create Side-by-Side Item icon in the text editor.

6. Click within a cell to add the desired elements. Each cell may have an item interaction, an image, text, or a resource.

7. Optionally, if you add a passage, you can add a scrollbar. This allows students to scroll the passage independently of the interaction. From the Passage Height section of the Passage Properties, select Limit passage area to a fixed height with scrollbar. Enter the Display height.

8. Optionally, right-click on the interaction to delete the interaction or choose from more options. 

Convert an existing item to side-by-side format

You can convert existing applicable items to a side-by-side format.

You cannot convert the item to a side-by-side format if the passage is inside the instruction block. You must move the passage outside the instruction or interaction block to enable the side-by-side conversion.

1. Search to find the item.

2. Click Edit.

3. Click the Convert to Side-by-Side Template icon in the text editor.
