Themed Dashboards: Accessit added more premade dashboards that you can import into your Web App site.  Once you import, you can edit - add, delete, change any information.  

To find pre-made dashboards, click here to access ALeC, an Accessit learning site. If you are not sure of your login, click "Forgot password" and follow the prompts. 
 

Once you log in, click here or look for All Things Web App. You will find instructions for updating your Web App and a list of Themed Dashboards.

Click here for directions about importing dashboards into your Web App.

Libguides:

Multi-Factor Authentication Coming in January:
In January, you will need to change how you log in to Libguides. Click here to read the details. As we approach January, I will send out more information.  

Embed a Noodletools Support Page on a Libguide:
Noodletools has great how-to information on their site - how to set up a project, cite a source and share a project with a teacher.  You can link to these pages, but you can also embed the pages on a Libguide page, creating one less click for students.  

Embed into a Libguide box or Dashboard by using the iframe code.

Click here for the code to copy and paste.  

In Libguides, create a new box.  Add a Rich Text Box and choose HTML.

Paste the code into the HTML section.

Remove the URL (It is in red) from the example code after src="

Add your URL.

Make sure quotation marks surround the URL, like in the example.

Click Save and Close.  The web page should appear.  
        

Click here for an example of a page with the embedded help pages.
