A Learning Object Repository is a file storage area accessible in any of your courses. Your Learning Object Repository provides you with a basic storage area for your files. You can add files from your computer or create ANGEL items like pages, quizzes, or surveys.

In addition, your Learning Object Repository enables you to access files in this storage area from any of your courses. From within your course you can copy or link to items in the Learning Object Repository. If you have a document that needs to appear in more than one of your courses, you can put that document in the Learning Object Repository and link to it from each of your courses. When you change this document in the Learning Object Repository, any course linked to it will be updated automatically.

How to Add files to your Learning Object Repository:

Click the Learning Object Repository icon on the left side on your ANGEL page Click on the Personal link in the Repositories section of that page. Notice the toolbar under this title.

Click the Add Content link to add items.

Here you can see the various items you can author from within ANGEL. This menu is identical to that found in the Lessons tab in any of your courses. Click the item you wish to add and follow the process as you would from within your course.

How to Link to your Learning Object Repository Items:

From within one of your ANGEL courses, click the Lessons tab. Locate the tool bar under the title and click on the Add Content link. From this menu select the Import Items choice.

Near the top of the page is a drop down menu titled Section. From the drop down menu select Learning Object Repository. Then click the Browse button. You will see a list of items in your Learning Object Repository area. You can click an item and a window pops up for you to view it. When you find a file(s) you wish to link or copy into your course, click the checkbox(s) next to the item you want.

The Link to Items button will allow you to link to any file in your Learning Object Repository library. Please note that the only place you will be able to edit this file is in your Learning Object Repository library, but it will automatically update in any linked location. If you choose to Copy Items this will make a duplicate of the item in your Learning Object Repository library for use in your course. This file will be fully editable from within your course. Click either of these buttons to see that the link or copy has been made.

You will get a confirmation that the item has been imported. Click Continue to copy or link to more items, or click Finished to return to the folder from which you started.
