Course materials
& libraries

The right resource. Ready for the next lesson.

Give useful resources a place in the learning. Prepare files privately, publish the edition students need and keep materials close to the course and module they support.

From preparation to a useful learning resource

Prepare with care.
Share with purpose.

Organise the preparation

Use folders and file details to keep teaching resources manageable, with search and filters to find the next item.

Publish when it is ready

Make a reviewed course file available explicitly, with optional available-from and available-until dates.

Keep resources in the sequence

Place published materials alongside lessons, assignments and quizzes in the course modules students follow.

Explore course modules

A clear route to the file

Open the resource.
Carry on with the learning.

Students reach available materials from the course library or their learning module. The material page brings the file name and download action together, with previews for supported formats.

  • Preview supported images, audio and video on the material page.
  • Open a PDF preview or download the available file.
  • Keep the material connected to the course and its module placements.

The edition is part of the learning

Improve the resource.
Keep the release deliberate.

An updated file and a published learning resource have different moments in the teaching process. Keep that handover clear as the material develops.

01

Prepare the next version

Upload the revised file while the previously published edition remains the learner’s available material.

02

Publish the reviewed edition

Publish again when the new version is ready for learners, with the availability dates you choose.

A deliberate release to students
03

Return to the published history

Authorised staff can review published editions. Completed courses retain the material edition available at the completion cutoff.

A useful record of the learning

For your team

Resources that support
the next teaching step.

Teachers

Prepare and publish with confidence.

Organise course files, review a new version and release it when it is ready for students.

Academic teams

Keep the resource collection useful.

Use teaching-library resources and attach the chosen file edition in the appropriate learning context.

Students & families

Reach the material made available.

Open published course resources through the course membership or guardian access provided by the school.

Sharing the right resource edition

When can students see a course file?

Understand private preparation, publication dates and what happens as a resource or course changes.

Does uploading a file make it visible to students?

A course file becomes a learning resource through explicit publication. Eligible students see the published edition when its availability window is open and the file is available.

What happens when we replace a published file?

The newer file version stays in preparation until it is published again. The available published edition remains the student’s resource in the meantime, and authorised staff can return to earlier published editions.

Can materials appear inside a module?

Yes. Place a published material in a course module alongside lessons, assignments and quizzes. Students can also find available resources through the course materials view.

Can students revisit materials after completing a course?

Completed-course access retains a read-only record of the material editions available at the course completion cutoff. This keeps later resource changes from replacing the edition retained for that completed course.
