Working with Lesson Bundles
Many lessons or activities contain multiple files. For example, teachers usually have a teacher version of a file, a student version, assessments, and sometimes supporting files. A lesson bundle is a container that enables teachers to group all files needed for a lesson together. In the
Documents workspace, you can view, edit, demonstrate, and save updates to .tns files in a lesson bundle. You can use lesson bundles to:
• Add any type of file (for example, .tns, .tnsp, .doc, .pdf, .ppt) to a lesson bundle. You can send lesson bundles to connected handhelds; however, only the .tns files are sent to the handheld.
• View all the files in a lesson bundle using the TI-Nspire™ Software.
• Group all files associated with one lesson in one place.
• E-mail one lesson bundle file to teachers or students instead of looking for and attaching multiple files.
In the Documents workspace, options for working with lesson bundles are in the Content Explorer.
