Adding handouts to a module

Handouts provide trainees with supplemental resources they can download directly from a module. Common handouts include employee handbooks, product manuals, reference guides, PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, and other supporting materials.

Before You Begin

Keep the following in mind:

• You can add up to four handouts to a module.
• Handouts can be almost any file type.
• Trainees can download handouts directly from the module while completing their training.
• Handouts are intended for supplemental resources and are separate from your primary training content.

Add Handouts

1. Open the module you want to update.
2. Select the Manage tab.
3. Click Edit Module Details.
4. In the Handouts section, click Upload.
5. Drag and drop a file into the upload window, or click Choose Files and select the file from your computer.
6. Repeat the process to upload additional handouts, if needed.
7. Click Save to save your changes.

Access Handouts as a Trainee

After handouts are added to a module:

• They appear as downloadable attachments on the module's Intro slide.
• Trainees can download and keep these files for future reference.

Upload More Than Four Handouts

If you need to provide more than four files:

1. Create a .zip file containing all of the handouts.
2. Upload the .zip file as a single handout.

The .zip file can contain as many files as needed, provided the compressed file is smaller than 1 GB.
