How do I use resources in my courses?

Creating and Uploading Resources

1. You can create resources in one of two ways.
   
   
   • If you have already created a course, you can go directly to Course Management (under Coaching and Courses). Here you will see a list of your courses. Clicking on any name will drop down a range of tools.
     Click on Assessents and resources. From the Resources tab, you can create and assign resources.
   • Or you can create resources from Coaching and Course Tools (under the Coaching and Courses drop down in your dashboard menu). Just click on Assessments and resources in the left hand panel, and chose the Resources tab.
2. No matter which page you choose, there will be a button in the main box saying "Create or upload a resource." Click this button and an area will drop down where you can create your resource.
   
   Choose a title and write a description. You can also choose to group your resources into categories for your own private use. You can create additional categories at any time by typing into the field marked Category.
3. Next, you can either upload documents or create a resource.
   
   
   • Use the WYSIWYG editor to create a new resource in fully formatted HTML that will be available right in your course members' dashboard. Just enter your text in the box as you would if you were creating a text document. You can choose font styles, sizes, colors and any other features you would with a normal word processor. You can also add links and insert images. You can even create anchors to link different sections within the resource. For advanced layout, use block quotes, bullets, indentation and tables. Hover your mouse over an icon to find out what it does.
   • Alternatively, you can upload a document to make available to your course members.
4. All your resources created for either coaching or courses will be listed in the table so that you can easily assign them to multiple clients and courses. You can sort these to display in any way you like.

Editing resources

You can edit your resources by clicking the link View/edit resource then selecting Edit. After making your changes, if you select Save edited resource, the resource will be edited with your changes. If you choose Save new version of resource, your edits will create a new version of the resource.

Assigning resources

1. You can assign resources from the Course Management page. Just click on the course name you want to assign the resource to from the list of your courses on the left-hand side of the page, and then select Assessments and resources from the drop-down menu. Select the Resources tab.
2. In the column marked Assign Date, click the link Assign or the calendar icon and select a date. This is the date your course members will be able to see your assessment.

Note: Make sure you put Life Coach Hub on your Safe Sender email list so that you are sure to receive important emails and notifications.
