30-031 Resource folder

A resource folder is used to collect teaching material. As in a normal folder (see HelpCard 30-030), files can be uploaded, edited, created and downloaded there . The resource folder is useful if you want to use the same files in several courses. Changes to files in the resource folder are automatically visible in all courses in which it has been integrated. A resource folder has a storage capacity of 1 GB. You can have the capacity increased if needed. To do so, write to e-campus@uibk.ac.at with the title of the resource folder, adding that this is a resource folder.

Important steps

Create the learning resource Resource folder in the Authoring:

  1. Click Authoring in the main menu. The Authoring opens.
  2. Click the Create button. A drop-down menu opens.
  3. Click on Resource folder. Now enter a title for your resource folder and then click Create. The learning resource Resource folder is now created and you are in the settings of the Resource folder.
  4. If needed, you can enter a description, title image, or teaser movie here. Save your changes. In the Metadata tab, you can assign a license (see HelpCard 00-040). In the Share tab, you have the option of making your resource folder available to others (see HelpCard 10-070).
  5. To fill your resource folder with content, click on the name of the resource folder in the crumb navigation above Administration.
