I know I am a huge pain, but one of the benefits of using the SCM History guides along with the Organizer is that the resources I schedule for my students match the assignments in the guide. But it seems like someone is editing the SCM recommended resources to fit their own schedule, which I understand is necessary sometimes, but shouldnt we make and edit a copy, rather than tweaking an SCM resource that others use as scheduled in the guide. I added The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, making certain to select the SCM recommended version. But when I go in to check off completed assignments I am finding that they do not match. It seems someone has broken the chapters into AO weeks. I can certainly go in and edit this, but I feels like if it is a resource with the SCM recommended tag I should leave it alone, since others rely on it as SCM set it up in the bookfinder. Just wanted to let the SCM team know. I am finding it frustrating to schedule in the organizer when things dont match up. Sorry to be so annoying.
You’re not annoying. 🙂 Thanks for pointing out resources that need to be fixed. We know it’s frustrating when a resource marked as our recommendation doesn’t match the guide where we recommend it. It’s an unintended consequence of allowing all subscribers to edit resources. We have some ideas about how we can address that problem. Hopefully down the road we’ll be able to make this better.
In the meantime, I split the version of that book with the original divisions off from the AO weeks version. You can find and schedule the new SCM recommended version here: https://apps.simplycharlottemason.com/resources/detail/170755
If there was a way that one would have to make a copy in order to edit an existing resource, I think that would help. If you had added the resource yourself, you wouldn’t have to make a copy in order to edit it. However, I don’t know if that would be a big thing to set up.
Thanks Jordan. Again.
Sue, there is a way to make a cooy easily in the organizer. Just click on the resource you have scheduled and instead of the “edit” button, click the “copy” button. You can rename it and edit to your hearts content leaving the original as-is. That is why I was so perplexed as to why folks were editing the SCM resources. Maybe the copy feature is new and the changes happened before it was available.
No, that’s not what I was saying….I was thinking that if we could not edit unless we first made a copy to edit, then the original resources would remain untouched.
