A Resource in Aamusted serves as a tool for instructors to enhance learning experiences, such as providing files or web links. Each resource is displayed as a clickable link accompanied by an icon indicating its type (File, Folder, Page, URL, etc.). Instructors can configure settings for most resources, including viewing conditions and display properties. While resources can be managed—moved, hidden, and edited—by Teachers or Course Designers, they are only viewable or downloadable by students. To grant TAs the ability to add or edit resources, assign them the Course Designer role.
Here are the various types of resources available in Aamusted:
1. File: Allows instructors to upload files for students to download. Files can be text documents, spreadsheets, audio files, video files, etc.
2. Folder: Enables instructors to organize multiple files within a single folder, helping to save space on the course page.
3. IMS content package: Allows uploading and posting of content packaged in the IMS format, typically from textbook publishers.
4. Label: Provides a way to organize and visually enhance the course homepage by adding sub-headings, annotations, and images to Topic or Weekly sections.
5. Page: Presents students with a single scrollable page created by the instructor using the HTML editor, allowing for rich content display.
6. URL: Redirects students to any web location accessible via their web browser.
