The File tool is not suitable for the purposes of assessing students, as only lecturers can upload files directly to a LEO unit. Its primary purpose is to 'push' information through to students.

For example, you could create a file within LEO that contains:

• Unit outline (PDF);
• written text such as instructions;
• citations for additional readings or academic papers.

Additionally, students are able to upload files to Assignment, Database, ePortfolio, Forum, Glossary, Turnitin, Wiki, and Workshop, if the file submission is part of their assessment.

The File enables lecturers to provide a file as a resource. Where possible, the file will be displayed within the unit interface; otherwise students will be prompted to download it.

The File resource can be used to provide draft files, student are required to download, edit and resubmit for assessment.

The File resource creates a single link, if you have a large number of files, consider using LEO Content, Book, Lesson or Page to create a context around the learning materials.

Uploading files (rather than entering large amounts of text directly into a Labels) keeps the LEO unit interface simple while allowing the unit to contain detailed lesson materials.

File upload includes browse and upload or drag and drop options.

If you are interested in the File resource, you may also be interested in learning more about the Book resource. The Book resource is a series of sequential pages (or chapters) which can be used to display dynamic content.

Alternatively, if you are interested in creating a dynamic series of pages, non-sequential, with added capability of embedded Quiz questions, learn more about the Lesson activity.

• For more information, refer to LEO Guides: Lesson

A Page resource is a dynamic webpage, where you can add text, images, embed video content from YouTube, Vimeo and Kaltura. It allows to attach files within the page and build context around your content.

• For more information, refer to LEO Guides: Page

All these resources or activities use a text editor to enter text and add interactive elements to the resources and activities with your LEO unit.
