Use the Subject Outline Generator

The Subject Outline Generator was introduced in 2023 to reduce the workload associated with preparing the Subject Outline.  This tool inserts content already stored in CSDB, TRDB and Contact Details into a generated subject outline file. We expect it will save you time and improve accuracy and consistency.

Subject Outline Generator Guide

Before publishing the subject outline to LearnJCU, ensure:

  • All instructions are removed from the document
  • Highlighting is removed and any red text is converted to black
  • The Table of Contents has been refreshed to reflect updates
  • Filename is 'Subject Outline <insert Subject name>'
  • Filename does not include any special characters (e.g. - ^ & _ * < : >)

By setting the filename as advised, will ensure the Subject Outline is captured in reporting.
