The Alpine Fault and Our Active Faults – Kaiako

This Internal Assessment uses ArcGIS Online. We recommend that you get set up in ArcGIS Online at least four weeks before you begin working with your students.

This will give you time to get familiar with the resources and troubleshoot any issues you may have.

The Alpine Fault and Our Active Faults resources have been designed to allow you to teach the Internal Assessment in whatever way works best for your ākonga.

Each topic can be taught using a different section of the Alpine Fault and Our Active Faults Ākonga StoryMap, alongside their Workbook.

Alternatively, ākonga can work through the StoryMap at their own pace and complete their Workbook when prompted as they progress through the StoryMap.

Note: Consider whether self-paced learning is appropriate for your ākonga. Some kaiako (teachers) have said that this led to their students, using the StoryMap to look for the answers in their workbook rather than read all the content in full.

• What faults are
• How faults are created
• Where they are located (spatial distribution)
• Why they matter
• How they impact communities
• What we can do to plan and prepare.

They will also become familiar with ArcGIS (Geographic Information Systems).

They will use ArcGIS online to create a StoryMap using maps, images and text, and then submit this to be assessed by you.

Ākonga will map where active faults across the South Island are located, share what they know about why they are there, and the impact of them being there.

The Alpine Fault and Our Active Faults Ākonga StoryMap provides the information ākonga need to complete this assessment.

It prompts ākonga to complete different sections in their Workbook using blue text like this.

The Workbook has been designed to reinforce their learning and support ākonga to develop their StoryMap as part of this internal assessment.

You can assess ngā ākonga learning by using the Kaiako Answer book.

Once you have applied for your account, the GIS in Schools team will email you with your ArcGIS account details once your schools account has been set up.

Ensure you activate the subscription by clicking on the link in the email.

Alternatively, if you already have an GIS in Schools subscription login via your existing account.

You will need to add each ākonga as a user in your ArcGIS online so they can create their own StoryMap for their internal assessment.

Step by Step Instructions to Create Student Logins

1. Go to your GIS login, enter your Username and Password, tick Keep me signed in, and then click Sign In.

2. Click on Members in the blue bar. This will take you to the page that shows all the users of your school's account.

3. Click on Invite Members in the white box with blue outline on the left of the screen.

4. You can either select Add Members without sending an invitation or Add Members and notify them via email and then click Next. It's best to use the first option if you are setting this up for your class ahead of time as the notifications only last a certain amount of time.

5. Select Add new members from file and click Next.

6. Upload your CSV with email, first name, last name, username, user type, and role in separate columns (see template below) and click Next.

Students must be given the Publisher Role and Creator User type (as shown in the template).

6. Check that there are no errors or fix any errors if there are, then click Next.

7. You can add students to a Group or give them ESRI access (although this is not required), then click Next

8. If you would like to notify your ākonga that they have been set up you can edit the automatic message and then click Add Members.

9. Check that all the users are typed as Creator and the role type is Publisher, and then all students are loaded.

Students will now be able to login using their username or password. Administrators have access to reset passwords if required.

We recommend students use desktop computers or laptops with a mouse to create their StoryMap as this makes it much easier to navigate.

Step by Step Instructions to support students to Create a StoryMap

1. Instruct students to login to their ArcGIS online using their username and password.

2. Next tell them to navigate to Content in the white bar and select My Content in the blue bar.

3. Next, they should select Create App on the left-hand side in the white box and blue outline. Once selected a new menu will pop up, and then they need to select ArcGIS StoryMaps.

4. Alternatively, they can select the nine dots on the righthand side of their screen and select ArcGIS StoryMaps. This will open the ArcGIS StoryMaps app and students can create their StoryMap from here by clicking Start a story.

5. From here, students can begin editing their StoryMap using the instructions in the Ākonga Workbook (pages 21-23).

6. Students can select Publish their StoryMap to see what it looks like as a viewer. When they publish it, they must ensure it is set to Private so others can not view their work.

Note: In edit mode, changes are automatically saved.

Items are the contents made available through ArcGIS Online. Items include content such as files, layers (services), maps, scenes, apps, tools, and templates.

Ākonga can add items from any part of ArcGIS Online - they can search your school content or the  ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. 

We have put together some items your ākonga may need access to. These layers are provided for ākonga to use their assessment. They are not intended for wider use.

Step by Step Instructions to add Items for Student to access

1. Click on Content in the blue bar. Then, use the search function to search for the layer you would like to add to your school's environment.

There are two layers currently available for this resource:

• AF8 Scenario S2N rupture – NCEA
• GNS Science Active Faults Database – NCEA

2. Click on the filter to turn it off so that it searches wider than your school content.

3. Click Open in Map Viewer on the layer you want to add. This will open a new window.

4. Click the Folder icon on the black bar on the left hand side to save the layer. This will open a new window.

5. Enter a Title for your layer, select the folder you wish it to go in and then click Save. This will now show you your content in My Content in the blue bar.

6. Select the Person Icon. This will open a new window.

7. Change the sharing level from Owner to Organisation. Click Save. This will make the map layer available to everyone in your organisation.

8. Now you can see that the layer is available to everyone in your organisation, and students will now be able to add these layers to their StoryMaps.

We recommend creating a Moderation Group to make it easy for all teachers to view students' content. Alternatively, you can export each student's StoryMap as a PDF.

Step by Step Instructions to Create a Moderation Group

1. Navigate to Group in the white bar and select My Groups in the blue bar.

2. Click Create Group in the white box with blue outline. Enter a name and description for your Moderation Group.

3. Change the Group Membership settings and select Only Group Members can view and Any Organizations Members can access. This means that only those teachers added to the group can view the contents, and you can add moderators from other schools if external moderation is required. Click Save.

4. Edit Group Sharing and add the items you wish to be shared with the Group.

It is important to remove students' access to their StoryMap so they can not make any changes once it has been submitted.

Step by Step Instructions to Change Ownership of a StoryMap from a Student to Techer and add to Moderation Group

1. Select the user you wish to remove access from.

2. Click View Items Content.

3. Scroll down the page til you see Ownership on the right-hand side of the screen. Select Change Owner.

4. Select your account as owner. Click Save. This removes the student's access to the StoryMap and makes you the Owner.

5. Navigate to Content in the white bar and select My Content in the blue bar. You will now see this StoryMap on your My Content page.

6. If the StoryMap requires moderation select the StoryMap by clicking the box on the left and select Share.

7. Select Edit Group Sharing and select the moderation Group you would like to share the content with. Click Save.

8. The StoryMap will now be able to be accessed by all members of the Group you shared it with, ready for marking or moderation.
