Create a Paper Outline

For staff on where Paper Outline contents come from and how to edit each section.

Paper Outlines are populated in 3 ways: 

  1. Content from your Moodle gradebook. 

  1. Centrally held content from MyWaikato. 

  1. Content that you edit with the Paper Outlines wizards in Moodle. 

To preview your Paper Outline and see the fields below, go to your Moodle paper, toggle Edit mode on, and select Wizard 8: Preview Paper Outline and submit. See also Access Paper Outlines.

Sections of a Paper Outline

The fields of a Paper Outline, from top to bottom, are:

Previous Paper Outlines

  • You can find all published Paper Outlines on the Paper Outlines website. If you don't see all Paper Outline details, check that you are fully signed in.
  • You can't import a Paper Outline directly into a new occurrence, but you can copy and paste Paper Outline text from other occurrences. This also applies for each occurrence (e.g. HAM/TGA) in a metapaper.
