Insert Learning Object Repository Objects Into Courses

After you set up your Learning Object Repository (LOR), instructors and course builders can insert objects directly into course content pages. Users with editing privileges on the Course Content page will be notified that the object is managed by your institution and won't be able to modify it.

Insert a learning object into the Course Content page

  1. Create a new item on the Course Content page and select Learning Object Repository.

Inserted objects have locked down attributes

All users who have editing privileges on the Course/Organization Content page are told that an object from the LOR is managed by their institution. Students and other roles that don't have the option to edit will not be notified. When an instructor tries to edit an object from the LOR, there will be cues that inform them that they can't modify it. For example, instructors can't edit the title, description, or body of a Document inserted into the LOR.

A Document from the LOR. The title, Using Technology, has a lock symbol next to it. The Edit content button in the top right corner is grayed out and an information button displays the text "This is managed by your institution. Editing is disabled."
