How to Upload PDFs and Resources

You can upload supporting documents to your courses to give your learners extra reading, homework and worksheets to guide them on their learning journey. 

Uploading a PDF

From the home page…

1. Navigate to the Content section
2. Open your course
3. Expand the unit you want to add PDFs to and click the ‘Add Resources’ button
4. Click the ‘Upload File’ button to upload your PDF.
5. Once you upload your PDF file, you’ll be given the option to ‘Disable Uploads’ which prevents your learners from downloading the PDF and only allows them to view it in their web browser. 
6. Click 'Save'.

Adding a Link 

You also have the option to add links to your resources. It could be a website link that’s relevant to your course or it could be a Google document where you’ve written a resource, a help guide or a worksheet for your students to download. The benefit of going with this route is that a Google document could be updated in real-time, whereas a PDF would need to be re-uploaded with every update to the file. 

To add a Google document, you’ll need to set your resource up as a read-only file so learners can’t edit your resource. You can find instructions on how to do this here.
