This topic enables you to man­age all of the per­sonal learn­ing infor­ma­tion in your life.

Key fea­tures of the Edu­ca­tion topic

• abil­ity to track all learn­ing top­ics, assign­ments, and education-related infor­ma­tion resources
• auto­matic reminders through inte­gra­tion with your device’s Calendar
• touch­points to the Shop­ping, Tasks + Projects, and Notes + Files topics

Using Edu­ca­tion touchpoints

Touch­points allow rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion to be shared seam­lessly between Edu­ca­tion and other top­ics. Exam­ple: If you define an assign­ment here, it will show up auto­mat­i­cally in Tasks + Projects. If that assign­ment requires sup­plies you need to buy, you can cre­ate the list in Edu­ca­tion and it will show up auto­mat­i­cally in Shop­ping. Or, if you have education-related resources such as book­marks and online doc­u­ments that are defined in Notes + Files, you can access those resources directly from Education.

How do I use Education?

The Edu­ca­tion topic view pro­vides these sections:

• Edu­ca­tion Notes — touch­point to the Edu­ca­tion cat­e­gory of the Notes + Files topic
• Projects + Assign­ments — touch­point to the Edu­ca­tion cat­e­gory of the Tasks + Projects topic
• All Sub­jects — all the edu­ca­tion infor­ma­tion and assign­ments you are tracking
• Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects — edu­ca­tion top­ics, sorted by category

Edu­ca­tion Notes

“Edu­ca­tion notes” are data and doc­u­ments that relate to a sub­ject of learn­ing. A PDF of a form to enroll in a course or a file of notes taken dur­ing a class are exam­ples of edu­ca­tion notes.

Cat­e­gories for Subjects

Cat­e­gories are avail­able for use with sub­jects. You can cre­ate, mod­ify, hide, or delete cat­e­gories via Life­Topix Set­tings or directly from the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion by tap­ping the Man­age but­ton. When a sub­jects cat­e­gory is deleted, it is com­pletely removed from Life­Topix. When a sub­jects cat­e­gory is hid­den, it no longer appears in the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion, but it remains defined in Life­Topix and is still avail­able in the cat­e­gory list when you are defin­ing a new sub­ject. Note that sub­jects cat­e­gories that are in use or serve as touch­points to another topic can­not be deleted or hidden.

To cre­ate a new sub­jects cat­e­gory, tap Add in the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion toolbar.

To mark a sub­jects cat­e­gory hid­den, or to mod­ify its name or descrip­tion, tap Man­age in the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion tool­bar, then tap the category’s .

To delete a sub­jects cat­e­gory, tap Man­age in the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion tool­bar, then tap the category’s . If the cat­e­gory is not in use and it does not serve as a touch­point to another topic, then it can be deleted and  will appear in the bot­tom tool­bar. Tap  to delete the category.

Tap a cat­e­gory in the Cat­e­gories for Sub­jects sec­tion to go to the sub­jects view for that cat­e­gory. If there are no sub­jects and no sub­cat­e­gories defined in that cat­e­gory, help appears in order to get you started. If there are sub­jects defined in that cat­e­gory, they are all shown in a sec­tion whose behav­ior is described in the All Sub­jects sec­tion above. If there are sub­cat­e­gories defined in that cat­e­gory, they are all shown in a sec­tion whose behav­ior is described imme­di­ately above.
