Overview
The Resources tool inside your course can be used in two different ways:
- It can be used as a repository for files used by the Instructor to create the course. Files such an HTML Syllabus and Home Page are stored here and then linked to the appropriate tools. Any images used in the course, such as images in an assessment question, will also be stored here. You can hide the Resources tool from students and just use the Resources to store these files. If you use this option, you will use Lessons to deliver content to students.
NOTE: Hiding the tool from students does not prevent students from accessing the Resources in other ways. You should not store sensitive documents in Resources
- Resources can be the main tool for distributing files to students. If you are not using images in your course, or you do not mind that students see the files, you can organize your content in folders in Resources.
