When managing resources through the "Add/Edit Resource" page, users engage with several core aspects that ensure comprehensive resource management and integration within the educational platform. These aspects include:
Metadata: This encompasses all the descriptive information about the resource, such as titles, short descriptions, types, and keywords. Metadata plays a pivotal role in how resources are categorized, searched, and identified across the platform.
Content: Pertains to the actual material or information contained within the resource, which can vary widely from text documents and PDFs to images, videos, and interactive elements. Depending on the resource type, users can upload and manage different forms of content accordingly.
Versioning: Enables tracking and management of multiple iterations of a resource over time. Users can create new versions, view past versions, and select an active version, facilitating content updates and historical comparisons.
Dependency: Offers visibility into where and how a resource is utilized across the platform, such as in specific activities, modules, or lessons. Understanding dependencies is crucial for assessing the resource's impact and for careful modification or deletion to avoid disrupting the learning experience.
Preview: Allows users to review the resource as it will appear to end-users, ensuring that all elements are correctly formatted and functioning as intended before finalizing.
Each of these components is integral to the effective creation and management of resources, ensuring they are valuable, accessible, and appropriately integrated within the educational content ecosystem.
