The Content tool is used to design, create, organize and share course content materials for students and other site participants. Instructors may create text based content, share links to external sources, upload downloadable documents and link to other tools and features within the site. Lesson content can include simple text to multimedia assets, like embedded audio files and video files. Below is a general overview of the Content Tool Features.
