-To add course content, log in to the course you want to add content to. Select \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu to display the \textbf{Course
-Documents} screen.
-
-There are four ways you can add a new document to the course:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item Import a document from the LON-CAPA network (\ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource})
-\item Create a document from a prepared template (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template})
-\item Add an external resource (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource})
-\item Upload a document from your hard drive such as a PowerPoint presentation or a
-PDF file (\ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive})
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-You can also organize documents into folders for structure,
-(\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}) or add a \textbf{Navigate Contents} page,
-which creates a resource in the course that displays the \textbf{Navigate
-Course Contents} screen. This could make a good first page for a course.
-
-The resources are listed in the order they will be viewed. The first resource
-listed is the starting page a user will see when they access the course. To
-change the order of the resources, click on the blue up or down arrows next to
-the resource you wish to move. Repeat this until you have all the resources in the
-order you want. You can also click the \underbar{Remove} or \underbar{Rename} links to delete or rename resources. Changes made to Main Course Documents, such as
-changing the order, adding new resources, and renaming or removing resources will
-be visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
-\fbox{re-initializing course} button
-on the \textbf{Course Documents} screen, whichever comes first.
