1.6.4. Actions in the Tab «Learning Resources»

If you hold author rights you will find two tool boxes on your right: «Import» and «Create.»

Import

Learning resources generated outside of OLAT can be imported if they have a format that is compatible. Suitable formats have been commented on in the section «Various Types of Learning Resources».

You can import into learning resources either from your computer or from your personal folder in OLAT. In your tool box just select the type of learning resources you want to add and follow the instructions. If you want to import an entire course you will be asked if you want to import its referenced learning resources (e.g. a Wiki or a test) as well. Click OK if you want to do this.

Create

You can create courses in the course editor (in unique OLAT format). Tests and questionnaires (IMS QTI format, version 1.2) can be generated in the test editor; CP learning content can be generated in the IMS CP editor. Additionally it is possible to create resource folders, Wikis, glossaries, blogs or podcasts. Wikis, blogs, podcasts and CPs can either be created in the tab «Learning resources» or within the course editor in case you want to embed your learning resource in that course.

How to use various editors will be further explained in the chapters «Creating Courses», «Creating CP Learning Content», «Creating Wikis», «Creating Podcasts», «Creating Blogs», «Creating Portfolio Tasks», and «Creating Tests and Questionnaires».
