Add Objects to the Learning Object Repository

You can add content to the Learning Object Repository (LOR) by creating objects directly in the repository, uploading files from your computer, or copying existing content from a course. The LOR supports learning modules, Documents, folders, and files.

Copy objects into the Learning Object Repository

Your institution may already have content that's well-suited for the LOR, such as institutional policies, support information, and technology requirements. Copy these items into the LOR so they can be centrally maintained and reused across courses. At the present time, only Documents and files can be copied into the LOR.

Select Tools and choose Learning Object Repository.
Select the ellipsis (...) button for the LOR.
Select Copy Items.
Select a course or organization to view its content.
Select the content you want to copy.
Select Start Copy.

Check the status of a copy

You can check the status of a queued copy task by accessing the Tasks and Logs for the LOR. Here you'll find information about the status of the copy: when the task was created, when the task started, and when it was completed.

Select the ellipsis (...) button for the LOR.
Select Tasks and Logs.

Copy objects from Original courses into the Learning Object Repository

You can copy objects from both Ultra and Original courses. For objects that are being copied from Original courses, here's a table that lists what we currently support and how it comes over into the LOR.
