How to Add Handouts to Your Course
Enhance your online courses by providing additional resources to your students. This guide will show you how to easily upload various types of handout files, such as PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, and Word documents, either during the course creation or after it is live.
Example
For instance, if you have just completed a lecture on digital marketing strategies and wish to provide your students with a PDF of case studies, this guide will help you add that material directly to the relevant session in your course.
