How to create an Exploration

You will only be able to create an exploration in a group for which you are an admin.

1. Name
2. Reminder Date for a reminder email to be sent to group members
3. High level description (detailed description in the next steps)
4. "Enable Exploration archiving" will enable admin download on all videos and prevent content deletion

When finished with any step, click the blue button at the bottom of the window

Here you will designate which components you'd like to include in the Exploration.

The different components are:

1. Video Evidence - Define what you want your students to capture with video.
2. Feedback to Peers - Define how many peer videos you want your students to provide feedback on.
3. Example Analysis - Provide your students with a model or exemplar video that they can then individually watch, analyze, and comment on.
4. Other Artifacts - Define other artifacts for your students to upload.
