Loading content

The CLIP team loads all of SQE1's content, with no need for the platform team. Each kind of content has one way in and one format. Once it's in, the platform files it by paper, subject and topic, and links it to everything else.

What you can load

• Mock exam. Where: CLIP team → Mock exams. Format: the question template saved as CSV, or CLIP's own HTML mock file. Then: it loads as a draft for you to check, and opens on the dates you set. Results come back by subject and topic.
• Question bank. Where: CLIP team → Question banks. Format: the same question template, saved as CSV. Then: students can practise straight away, by subject and topic. Questions already there are skipped.
• Reading page. Where: Course content → Write. Format: type it, or paste from Word. Then: students see it once you publish it, its headings become its sections, and Moe learns it at the same moment.
• PDF manual or slides. Where: Course content → Add, or Materials. Format: PDF or PowerPoint, up to 100 MB. Then: it goes on that paper's shelf under its subject. Students read it in the app, and can take notes and write on PDFs.
• Flashcards. Where: Course content → Add under Flashcards. Format: one card a line, the front and the back split by a vertical bar (|). Then: they join that subject's deck, and each student sees a card again when it's due.
• Timetable. Where: CLIP team → Classes. Format: paste the rows from Excel, or the timetable template saved as CSV. Then: classes appear on the calendar, the home page and the register. Classes already there are skipped.
• Team documents. Where: CLIP team → Team documents. Format: PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Then: they're stored for the team only. Students and clients can't open them.
• OUP material. Where: Publisher resources (admins). Format: imported from OUP with CLIP's instructor account. Then: it opens in OUP's own pages, and scores come back to CLIP.

What the platform does on its own

• Files everything by paper, subject and topic. The subject comes from the file's subject column, or from the subject you choose when you load it.
• Links it together. When a student gets a mock question wrong, Close the gap offers that subject's reading pages and manuals, more questions on that topic from the bank, flashcards, and OUP material with a matching title. The more you load for a subject, the more it can offer.
• Reports by topic. Mock and practice results are broken down by subject and topic, for students and faculty.
• Teaches Moe. Every published reading page becomes part of what Moe answers from. Take a page down and Moe forgets it.
• Checks before it loads. A question or timetable file with a problem doesn't load at all, and you're told which row and why.
• Keeps mocks unseen. A mock's questions stay in the mock. They're never added to the practice banks.
• Sends nothing. Loading content sends no email or message. Students see it the next time they open SQE1.

What it doesn't do

• It doesn't read inside PDFs or slides. A manual is filed and readable, but Moe can't answer from it, Close the gap can't open it at the right page, and search finds it by its title only. If a manual's content should work like a reading page, paste it into a reading page.
• It doesn't write questions or flashcards for you. Those come from your own files.
