‘Sections’, as the name suggests deals with categorizing stuff according to one’s requirement. We have done exactly that! Note the keyword being ‘requirement’. As an instructor you might have the requirement to club certain lessons and assessments together and put them in a folder primarily and create a learning sequence. 'Sections' does exactly this job and helps you impart a learning sequence to your content in Teamie. You can also reorder resources within the sections as per your wish. In fact, instead of having two separate tabs to view lessons and assessments, now we’re making it a single tab called “All Materials”. You can find all the lessons and assessments of your classroom here.
1. Hover over a Classroom's card on the home page and then click Materials tab to go to the materials page of the required classroom.
2. On the Materials page, you will see the list of all the materials (lessons and assessments) of that classroom.
3. On the Materials page, you have the freedom to add a new section at any desired location. Hovering your mouse pointer over the empty space at the top/ between or right below the last section displays, a +Add Section link. Click it at the desired location to create a new section at that location.
4. Enter the Section title and then click Create Section button.
Also, hovering your mouse pointer over the empty space in between two resources or right below the last item displays a +Add link which gives you the flexibility to add section at the corresponding location. Click it at the desired location to create a new section at that location.
5. The new section will be created with the default description (as set the by administrator).
6. Click the placeholder text to update/add a new description to the newly created section.
7. Add the required description.
8. You can format your section description using the rich text formatting tools. Rich text will support the following options: Bold, Italics, Underline, Hyperlink, Bulleted List, Numbered List and Blockquote. You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts to format the section’s description:
Bold : ctrl+b
Underline: ctrl+u
Italic: ctrl+i
Once a word/phrase is hyperlinked, clicking on it will allow you to modify the URL. For a learner, clicking on the link will open the link in a new tab.

10. All the changes made in the section will be saved shortly.
