⁠

The ‘Unit flow’ helps you organize all your teaching content for a unit in one place. You can structure it into sections and subsections that reflect the order in which you plan to teach. This gives you a clear, visual overview of how learning experiences, assessments, and resources come together across your unit.

In this article, you will learn how to:

⁠

Navigate to the unit flow tab⁠

⁠

Add teaching content⁠

⁠

Manage unit flow items⁠

⁠

Customize viewing and navigation options⁠

⁠

Use key planning tools and features⁠

⁠

Navigate to the unit flow tab

To begin:

Navigate inside your course from the homepage

Select the ‘Course plan’ tab from the left panel.

Choose the unit you want to work on.

⁠

⁠

From the top of the unit page, select the ‘Unit flow’ tab.

Note: The ‘Unit flow’ tab is visible only to teachers, not to students and families.

⁠

⁠

Add teaching content

Populate your ‘Unit flow’ by either adding new tasks and resources or importing existing material from other units or the school library. Let’s understand both these workflows in detail.

Create tasks and resources

You can create the following types of tasks in your unit flow:

Learning experience or an assessment: Build interactive activities or assessments for your students. Learn how to create a learning experience or assessment

in this article⁠

Worksheet: Create worksheets for students to complete as part of your unit. You can

create worksheets from scratch or import from library⁠

or use

Toddle AI to generate one⁠

AI tutor: If your school has subscribed to Toddle AI, you can design an AI-powered tutor to guide students through discussions, quizzes, or role-plays. You can choose a template or build your own tutor, preview the interaction, and assign it to students. Learn more about creating and using AI tutors

here⁠

Note: Quick tasks cannot be created from the unit flow as they are unit-independent.

⁠

⁠

You can add a variety of resources to your unit flow. This helps you centralize links, notes, files, and documents for organized planning.

Here’s what you can do:

Add a link: Add a web resource, video, or online reference directly in your unit flow.

Add a note: Create teaching notes or instructions using the rich-text editor. To learn more about formatting options, refer to

this article⁠

on using the rich-text editor.

Upload from: Upload files from your device, Google Drive, or OneDrive - such as PDFs, images, or documents. Note: Uploads from Google Drive or OneDrive are only available if your respective

Google⁠

and

Microsoft⁠

Accounts are connected to Toddle.

Create: Create a new Google doc, sheet, or slide file directly in your unit flow.

Note: This option is available only if Toddle is connected to your Google account. To understand how to connect Toddle to your Google account, check

Import existing content

You can import content from:

Other units of this academic year

Learning experience and assessment library

⁠

⁠

1. Other units of this academic year

When you import content from another unit, you’ll see a list of all units available to you from that academic year in your School library.

You can filter units by unit type, grade, subject, and creator using the dropdown menus at the top, or use the search bar to find a specific unit by name.

Only one unit can be selected at a time for import. Once done, click ‘Next’.

⁠

⁠

After selecting a unit, you’ll see its structure organised into three sections in the left pane. Each section represents a different type of content you can import into your own unit.

Unit flow: This section displays the overall structure of the unit content: its folders (sections), subfolders, and the teaching content organised within them.

In Unit flow, you can choose to import:

Sections or sub-sections (parent items)

Specific teaching content, such as learning experiences, assessments, notes, links, and other resources (child items)

Note: Selecting a parent folder does not automatically select all of its child items. You may choose them individually depending on what you want to bring in.

Unit learning experiences and assessments: This section lists all tasks created within the selected unit, regardless of where they sit in the unit flow. You can import one or more tasks directly from this list if you prefer a quicker, more focused selection workflow.

Unit resources: Here, you’ll find all supporting files attached to the unit - such as PDFs, images, documents, and links. You can import one or more resources without having to navigate through folder structures.

Select the desired items, and click ‘Import’.

To streamline the process of selecting multiple items within a unit or folder, you can utilize the Shift + Click shortcut.

Bulk Selection: By holding down the Shift key and clicking the checkbox of a parent item (such as a Unit or Folder), you will instantly select that item along with all of its children or sub-items located within its hierarchy.

Bulk Deselection: This action functions as a toggle. If you hold Shift and click an already selected parent item, it will deselect the parent and all of its associated sub-items simultaneously.

Note: A copy of each item you import appears in your unit flow. Any edits you make to the imported copy will not affect the original version in the source unit.

⁠

⁠

2. Learning experience and assessment library

The ‘Learning experience and assessment library’ contains all class tasks (Learning experiences, assessments, and worksheets) created by teachers in your school.

Use filters such as ‘Course’, ‘Academic year’, ‘Grade’, ‘Subject’, ‘Assignment type’, and/or ‘Creator’, or search directly to find what you need.

Click the relevant task to preview details.

Select one or more tasks to import, then click ‘Add’.

Note: When you import an item from this library, a copy is added to your unit flow. Any changes you make to the imported copy will not affect the original item in the library.

⁠

⁠

Organize unit flow items

You can structure your unit flow in a way that works best for your teaching needs. Here’s what you can do:

Create folders/sub-folders: Add new folders (sections) and subfolders (subsections) to organize your content into a clear and meaningful flow. You can name these folders according to your unit’s structure.

Note: A section/folder can have up to three sub-sections/sub-folders.

Reorder items in the unit flow: Use the six-dot drag handle (to the left of each item) to drag and drop tasks or resources into your preferred sequence.

Note: All changes are saved automatically and are immediately visible to anyone who has access to the unit flow.

⁠

⁠

Manage unit flow items

Each item in your unit flow has a three-dot menu on the right, providing options to manage and organize your content.

Three-dot menu for a folder/sub-folder:

Edit folder title: Rename the folder directly without having to recreate it.

Collapse all folders: Quickly minimize all open folders to tidy up your view.

Move to folder: Relocate an item or folder into another folder for better organization.

Delete: Permanently remove the selected folder or item from your unit flow.

Note: Be cautious — this action cannot be undone.

⁠

⁠

For an LE, assessment and worksheet:

Edit: Open and update the details of the selected item.

Create a duplicate: Make a copy of the task or resource. The duplicate can be edited independently of the original.

Edit assign settings: Update assignment details, such as due date, assigned students, or other relevant options.

Move to folder: Relocate an item or folder into another folder for better organization.

Print: Print the selected task or resource directly, or save it as a PDF for sharing and record-keeping.

Change task type: Convert the item from one task type to another (for example, from a learning experience to an assessment) as needed.

Delete: Remove the task or resource from your unit flow. This action cannot be undone.

⁠

⁠

For a Note, Link, or Google Document/Slides:

Edit: Open and make changes to your note, link, or attached Google file.

Create a duplicate: Make a copy of the item within your unit flow. This is helpful if you want to reuse a note or resource in another section.

Move to folder: Relocate the item to another folder for better organization.

Delete: Permanently remove the item from your unit flow. This action cannot be undone.

⁠

⁠

For an added resource:

Rename: Change the title of the resource for clarity or consistency with your unit naming conventions.

Create a duplicate: Make a copy of the resource within your unit flow to use in another section or folder.

Move to another folder: Relocate the resource to a different folder for better organization.

Download: Save a copy of the resource to your device.

Delete: Permanently remove the resource from your unit flow. Be sure before deleting, as this action cannot be undone.

⁠

⁠

Customize viewing and navigation options

You can adjust how content is displayed and navigated in the unit flow using the filter, search, and display options at the top of the page.

Filter content

Click the filter icon to filter your unit flow by content type or by contributor:

Content types: Filter to show learning experiences, assessments, worksheets, AI tutors, notes, links, or resources. You can select multiple content types at the same time.

Added by: View either all content (‘All’) or only content you’ve added yourself (‘Me’). Show content added by specific collaborators.

Note: Only one of these options can be selected at a time.

Select your options and click ‘Apply’ to update your view.

Note: Filters are not retained if you navigate away from the page; you will need to reapply them each time you return to your Unit flow page.

Search

Use the search bar at the top to quickly find tasks, resources using keywords within your unit flow.

⁠

⁠

Display options

Click the display options icon (three horizontal lines) to further customize your view. You can:

Show outline: The outline section primarily serves as a viewing and navigation tool. It reflects the complete structure of your unit flow, including any subsections, and is designed to help you navigate your content quickly.

Collapse all folders / Expand all folders: Instantly collapse or expand all folders to get a high-level overview or a detailed look at all items in your unit flow.

Default placement of new items: Decide whether new content is added to the top or bottom of your unit flow list.

Task/resource thumbnail: Switch between showing a thumbnail image for each item, or displaying the task/resource type (such as LE, FA, worksheet, etc.).

Task/resource details: Choose to show or hide additional details, such as the grading period and assessment category, for each task or resource.

Note: All display option preferences are saved for your account and will remain the next time you access the unit flow.

⁠

⁠

Use key planning tools and features

Toddle provides several built-in tools to make your planning process smoother.

Assessments and resources window

You can quickly access a complete list of assessments and resources for your unit using the ‘Assessments and resources’ panel on the right.

This window displays all learning experiences, assessments, AI tutors, and other resources that have been added to your unit.

Use the search bar at the top of the panel to quickly find specific items.

Filter by item type to narrow your list.

Each item in this panel also features its own three-dot menu, where you can edit, duplicate, or manage tasks and resources without leaving the panel.

This window provides a consolidated view of your unit’s content, allowing you to manage resources more efficiently without needing to scroll through your main unit flow list.
