Creating Documents in LiveText

LiveText allows users to create a variety of documents from templates. The types of documents available are: courses, projects, assessments, portfolios, and lesson plans. The templates provide a framework for composing the document and are easily customizable. This help document contains general directions for creating these documents.

  • After logging into LiveText, make sure you are in the My Work area. Select the Create button and then select Document.
  • The Create Document page prompts you to choose a Document (Course, Project, Assessment, Portfolio, or Lesson Plan) and a Template based on the type of document (a preview appears on the right-hand side) (1). You can then add a Title and an optional Description (2), and click Create Document to begin editing the document (3). In the following example, a lesson plan has been created.

  • The document is then created for you based on the chosen template. This page now appears in the navigation menu as "Document Type > Name of Document". The document is also available in the My Work area.
  • With the document open, there are two editing modes available. To edit the overall structure and sections of the document, select Edit document at the top of the page (A). To edit the individual sections within a document, select edit to the right of the section (B).
  • Note: Sections like Standards and Resources will be edited in different formats depending on their properties.

  • With the document created, it can now be edited for content. See Editing Pages for information on structuring your document and Editing Sections for information on adding content to your document.
