Resources

Use Resources to open the course-wide assets panel and review files, links, audio, and video attached to lessons.

  • Search resources by title or lesson.
  • Open the source file or link when available.
  • Delete resources that should no longer appear for learners.

Course resources are grouped by lesson so larger courses are easier to audit before publishing.

Video thumbnails

When a video lesson has uploaded video media, use Thumbnail in the lesson media area to choose the poster image learners see before playback.

  • Default uses the generated video thumbnail.
  • Timeline lets you choose a frame from the video.
  • Custom lets you select an uploaded image from File Manager.
