Tuning is an in-context collaboration feature that encourages productive dialogue at the very heart of a course’s learning blueprint. Your team’s suggestions, replies, and tasks form a dynamic record of continuous improvement, which is invaluable for curriculum development and accreditation evidence.

The language you will encounter in the process of using Tuning fosters healthy dialog. Adding a suggestion invites collaboration across the team involved. Commenters, editors, managers, and admins can collaboratively give feedback on course designs.

Note: Viewer role cannot see any suggestions, or tasks.

You can add suggestions to the following locations:

• Course (center, pertains to basic course info, or overall course)
• Modules (bundles)
• Course Objectives (c-layers)
• Learning Objectives 
• Activities 

Step 1: Make sure you're on the course level.

Step 2: Turn on Tuning mode.

Step 3: In the Tuning Reading Panel, click Add a Suggestion.

Step 4: Select the location to add a suggestion (center of course, Course objective, Module, etc.)

Step 5: Write your suggestion, and click Post. You can include hyperlinks to your resources!

Editing or deleting a suggestion

Suggestions can only be edited or deleted by their creator within a 96 hour time limit. The conversation history on a course is important; editors, managers, and admins can refer to suggestions to see the pulse of the course and changes that were suggested/implemented. 

Step 1: If your suggestion is within the 96 hour time limit, you will see an ellipsis icon (three dots) on the right side of your suggestion in the Reading panel. Click the ellipsis and select Edit Suggestion or Delete Suggestion.

Step 2: Choosing to edit the suggestion opens the text field for that. Be sure to click Save.

Choosing to delete the suggestion will ask you if you are sure.
