Clicking on "Link to a file or website" enables you to link to any webpage, or

insert most kinds of file (videos up to 10Mb, word documents, scans, etc.

Give the resource a

name that is clear to the students

For websites, delete “http:// “and cut and paste in the website's address

(highlight, then Ctrl + C, then click here and Ctrl + V)

Always drop down and choose "new window", otherwise when

the student closes the

document, they close STC Live

too.

When you click on "choose or upload a file", a window opens with all the files for that course. Click on "upload a file" to

add to the list...

This takes you back to the page where you gave the file a name for STC Live. Scroll down and choose "save and return to course"

Don't forget: "New window".

The new resource file or webpage will be the last thing on the list for that unit, but you can reorder the resources using

the

function

This expands/ contracts all the units so that they are visible or alternatively, stacked (but it is not a change to the page, the same option is available to the students)

These icons hide either whole units' contents (a) or individual files/sites (b) within a unit
