Where do I put my files?
Where you choose to upload your files depends on whether the files are for the general Course or if they are specific to certain Events.
1. Files uploaded to the Course Level apply to all Students enrolled in the Course and are not tied to a specific Event or date.
- Examples of general Course files might be a syllabus or a recommended reading list for the Course.
2. For files that are specific to a particular Learning Event, you'll want to upload at the Event Level.
- For Example, a reading assignment or link to review other files prior to an Exam.
This screen is the first step in the Multi File Upload interface. Here you can define default settings for all of the files you are about to upload.
Once you have specified your default settings you can move on to the next step of selecting the files you wish to upload. When those files are uploaded they will be tagged with the default settings from this screen.
You will also be able to edit the settings on each file individually after the files are uploaded.

Saving your work
In any of the software used to create your quiz, save the file to a SCORM 1.2 zip file before importing to LCMS+.
This screen lets you create a link in your Course to any web resource. This link will be treated as a content source by the System, and the landing page (first page) of the website will be indexed for use by the internal Leo search option.
If your web link is external (any page not within the Leo System) then it must be prefixed with http:// or https://. This prefix lets the system know that the site is external.
If you are posting a link to a resource within Leo, then do not use the http/s prefix. In general, internal web links are not used very often.
The two required (*) fields are:
- URL
- Link Title
NOTE: The author field is only used to populate the first author in the author list. It will be empty the next time you open the screen, but the author you specified will be in the author list.
You can review the deleted content here and restore the content.
Content Categories are labels used to organize files/documents/materials at the Course or Event level. After uploading a file to your Course or Event, you can assign a Category to that file. When files are displayed, they are grouped and sorted by Category.
This report will show a list of all documents linked at the Course Level that are also assigned to one or more Events within the same Course.
This can have a direct impact on the Document Distribution option and on the general availability of a document to Students.
Documents at the Course Level can be restricted by date but not by time. Section and Event versions of the file have same release date, the Course version of the document will be available at 1 minute past midnight. Please note that time restrictions will be added to Section documents.
This report shows the assigned Authors and Uploaders for all content at the Course level.
You can click on the Title of any of the content to update the Author or Uploader.
