Add a document to a course

To add a video to a course, see Add a video to a course.

Add a document from your computer

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.
3. In the left sidebar, below the list of activities, click Add a document.
4. Click OR SELECT A FILE.
5. Choose a file from your computer.

By default, the title of the document will be that of the file. You can change the title by clicking on it.

The size limit for document upload is 6GB. We recommend not going above a few hundred MB per file (this value depends of course on your authors’ and learners’ network, as well as computer performance).

Audio files cannot be played directly in a course; learners can download them to play them on their computer, or mobile device. Alternatively, you can upload the audio file to an audio playing platform (such as SoundCloud, Google Drive or Genially), then use the embed code of that platform to add it to the course. You can also transform the audio into a video, then add the video to the course.
