Summary: How to publish a document in Connexions.

Publishing the Module

To make your module or your changes to an existing module viewable by anyone on the Internet, you must publish the module in Connexions. To publish a module, use the following steps:

  1. Log into Connexions.
  2. Display the Connexions workspace or workgroup in which your document resides.
  3. Display the module you want to publish.
  4. Click on the "Publish" tab. The "Publish Module" screen displays. This screen contains a list of reminders for you to check before you publish the module.
  5. Type a brief description of your work on the module in the "Description of Changes" text box.
  6. Click Publish. Your work on the module is entered into the Connexions Content Commons. Once in the Content Commons, anyone with Internet access can view the module.

A new module would not necessarily have editing changes, so in the "Description of Changes" text box you might enter a comment like, "Created a new module".

Note:

The act of publishing a module is different from clicking on the Save button in an editing session. When you save your changes, only you and the people who have access to your workgroup can see your changes. When you publish a module, the entire world can view your work on the Internet.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
