Step 7: Adding Materials (Resources) |
The Materials pane displays the materials you’ve added to the current course. You add materials to a course when you create an assignment and attach your favorite teaching resources (for example, documents, worksheets, web links, photos, and videos) to the assignment. When you attach a variety of learning materials, there are no limits on how creative you can make your assignments, and in turn the homework projects your students hand in for your assignments. Use the Materials pane to add new materials, filter materials by media type, and edit or remove existing materials. To access the Materials pane, click a course name or the Materials cell in the dashboard, then click Materials .
When you view the Materials pane for a course, you see only materials added and used within the currently selected course. When you view My Materials Library, you see all your materials, whether added from one of your courses or from My Materials Library.
When you make changes to your course, iTunes U immediately updates the course and students see the updates the next time they open the course.

Note:
- Materials you add to a course as a contributor are not added to your My Materials list.
- When creating a course, if you want a specific material hidden from your students until you reach the associated section of your course (for example, an online quiz), add the material to your My Materials Library instead of the course Materials pane. Later, when you reach the section of your course and create the post and assignment, you can attach the relevant material from your My Materials Library, and iTunes U displays it in your student’s course Materials pane. Materials you add to a course Materials pane are immediately visible to your students, but materials you add to your My Materials Library are only visible to you until you attach the material to a specific course.
