Online Manual: Add LRN Package

From the Control Panel

  1. Click on desired Content Areas (Course Materials, Assignments, Syllabus, Books).
  2. Choose LRN Package from the  Add Other pull-down list on the right side of the page.
  3. Click the Go button.
  4. Choose a Name from the drop down menu or enter your own name for the document in the Name field.
  5. Enter a description into the Text field.
  6. Click the Browse button to find the file to upload.
  7. Type link name into the Name of Link to File field to create the link to your document. If you don't type anything in this field the name of your file will be used as the link.
  8. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Submit button.

Options:

  • Do you want to make the content visible? - Visible means that your students can see the Learning Unit. You can change this at any time.
  • Do you want to add offline content? - This is used when your course has a companion CD-ROM.
  • Do you want to track number of views? - This option lets you track how often individual users view the document.
  • Do you want to add metadata? - This option indicates if metadata will be used. Metadata is data about the added item, such as ownership, resource format, and copyright information.
  • Choose date restrictions - This option lets you set the dates that the document will be visible and invisible. This automates the "make contents visible" function.
