When you need to create Learning Resources, we recommend that you consider the overall naming and organisation of resources within your establishment.
The naming convention you use to designate a Learning Resource can make it easy for users or owners to identify it. Also give careful consideration to the names you give folders and subfolders within the folder structure in Shared Documents, and the names of Shared Links. We recommend that you keep names as short as possible.
When you create a Learning Resource you can assign a Staff Subject Area, a member of staff and year to it. You should consider which attributes to apply before creating Learning Resources. We recommend that you do not create Learning Resources with the same names as Staff Subject Areas.
The Learning Resource content can be organised in a way that suits the needs of the groups concerned. For example:
Shared documents containing questions to be researched may be stored in an Exercises folder with read-only access (the users' default permission).
A folder with read/write access may be provided to allow users to collaborate on a project (the owners' default permission).
A Handing-In folder with write-only access may be provided to allow students to submit their work.
You can change which groups have access to an existing Learning Resource at any time, for example when one group has completed their part of a large project and another group needs to access it.
If you subsequently need to make a change to a Learning Resource, you should do this via the Learning Resources page rather than Windows Explorer, RM Explorer or Internet Explorer.
If other users currently logged on need to see any changes you make to a Learning Resource, they will need to refresh their Learning Resources window.
