Well structured Intro pages to Learning Apps can help engage students in the content right from the start.

Best Practice (Title)- Capture the “essence” of your App/Badge in a short, meaningful and attention-grabbing phrase.  

Best Practice (Media) - Apps with intro videos from App Author will create a more personalized experience for your learners and help students feel they have a more intimate experience after being introduced to the author.  

Best Practice (mark as moderated app): suggested for any apps that require feedback from a moderator are more “interactive” in nature to enhance the learning experience

Best Practice (About the App): Use words that are relevant and accurate, helping users understand clearly what the content is covering.

Best Practice (Who is the App Author ID on intro page?): In this section, select someone from your organization whom you feel either already has built a rapport with your users or will be relied upon to do so (many times your App Authors don’t have rapport built with students/users)  

Best Practice (Primary Learning Objectives): Make it fun, use language that talks directly to your users and personalizes the experience. Think of this as a checklist of “takeaways” you want learners to achieve at completion.

Best Practice (Pre-requisites)- this is where you can suggest other Apps or resources to users that are relevant to the content you are covering in the course and can further support their understanding of the material
