"Select the main type of content. Files and links can be added as resources

[IndyJeed]

Hi, so when I create a new lecture, under the + Contents section there are three items I can add: Video, Video & Slide Mashup and Article. Then it says underneath "Select the main type of content. Files and links can be added as resources". I was wondering if I can add a PDF file instead, which I can click the free preview function so it can be easily viewed and downloadable when students are looking to potentially purchase my course? I know when I add a video, I have the option for it to be viewable for free and also have the option for individuals to download. I want to essentially do the same for two PDF files.

Hi @IndyJeed Happy Tuesday! 😊

Your first video lecture will automatically be available for the free preview to ensure there is always content available for students to view.  You need to select enough lectures totaling 10 minutes of video content.

Regarding the downloadable resources, these resources can be any filetype like .JPG, .PDF, .ZIP, .XLS, .MOV, .MP3, etc. However, the option for the resources to be previewed is not available.

Let us know if you have additional questions 🙂
