Learning Resource is a special library/catalog that is a collection of links to documents (SOP, instructional guide or forms), website and/or videos that are used as reference materials. What makes them different from other libraries is that the individual courses in the Resource Library are not tracked, so no additional history is created.
These are the steps on creating and adding a Learning Resource library:
1. The first step is to import a Learner Resource, on MANAGER TILES, click on the ADD COURSE link inside the Courses Tile. The Add Course Wizard pops open a box. Click on LEARNING RESOURCE and on the NEXT button to continue.
NOTE: One of the common question that is always asked is that "DO LEARNING RESOURCE LIBRARIES REQUIRE A SPECIAL TYPE OF COURSE?". The answer to this is YES, refer to the image below on how to set the type of course to a Learning Resource.
