Share static URLs with learners outside a course
Provide resources to learners through Resources in primary navigation, or share a direct link, outside of LearnUpon.
Availability: all customers
Note: Shareable URLs are not recommended for video streaming use.
Resources remain available after a course ends, as long as the files are in the portal.
For resources, LearnUpon generates unique static URLs that you can share outside a course. You can change the file within the resource, and the URL stays the same. These links are accessible outside of LearnUpon, without logging in to the portal.
Access permissions
- all admins: can create, manage and share resources in a portal
Shareable resource URLs
Administrators can generate a direct download link to send resources to learners outside of a course. To create a shareable resource URL:
- From main navigation go to Library.
- From secondary navigation select Resources.
- Search for and select the name of resource to share.
- Select Shareable URL under the Resource file card.
- From the dialog that opens, copy the URL to share.
- OK to finish.
The following screenshot shows an example of the URL dialog.
The Resources tab
Learners access available resources through primary navigation > Resources.
The following screenshot shows sample resources for a learner.
Each item includes:
- file title
- update date
- file type
- file size
From this tab learners can search for resources, and they can filter by:
- file type
- category
- availability for download
Note: What happens when learners select Download depends on the file type, and on the learner's browser settings. For example, some browsers play video files in a new tab, while others download the file to the learner's computer.
