Files
If you want to attach a file to the learning object, use the "Browse…" button to select a file. If you would like to give the file link a more meaningful name, enter the text in the Friendly Name text field. Files associated with common programs such as Microsoft Office or Adobe PDF will automatically upload with the appropriate file type icon. Be sure to click Save when finished. A green field marked Saving.... will appear for a time as the Learning Object is uploaded to the Session.
Click the "Save" link (at the bottom) to save your LMS Item/File and any attached files.
Editing an LMS Item / File
At the right hand side of an LMS Item / File's gray title bar, two icons appear. The first, with a small pencil, is the edit button. Clicking this button will reopen the Item for editing. Be sure to click Save when finished.
Removing an Attachment to an LMS Item / File
Go into the edit mode of the learning object and scroll down until you find the attachment. You can remove an existing attachment by clicking "remove" and upload a new one if you prefer.
Removing an entire LMS Item / File
Click on the item as you if you would for editing. Near the Save and Cancel links is a "Remove" link. Clicking "Remove" puts this item in your My Stuff trashcan if the item is a Learning Module or LMS Item / File where you may later restore the item to your My Stuff area. If the item is a Quiz, Discussion Board or Assignment, the item is permanently deleted from you course. Be careful, removing a Quiz Discussion Board or Assignment may impact your students if they have already completed such items. If you are unsure, please contact your Cluster Support staff. You will be prompted by a window asking if you are sure you would like to remove the Item from the Session. Clicking OK will complete the operation.
