Course Resources are "hidden" files (not directly available to the student).  Course Resources are

"inventory" items, such as uploaded documents or public URL (web addresses) that are attached

directly to course assignments, included as part of exam questions or included as part of a course thread.  

Course Resources should not be confused with Course Materials -which are files that are uploaded

to a public directory for open sharing with your students.

B: Click on the Restricted Resources Tab

C: Under the Courses Tab, Click the enter the name of your new resource and then click the GREY "add record" button

D: To edit your newly created resource (and upload your file) click on the YELLOW "edit" button

E: Deleting a Restricted Resource will delete your Restricted Resource (and all assignment references to it)

however if the resource contains an amazon hosted digital file, it will NOT delete the file from the file server.  

Deleting a restricted resource will change it's status to a general resource with NOT cohort or course code

assigned to it.  (It's in limbo).  You can delete or re-assign the file by using the "Reassign General Resources" tool.

Electronic File (Remotely Hosted)
