LON-CAPA Help

1. Select Course Editor on the Inline Menu or Edit course contents within Main Menu.

2. Click the Content Utilities tab in the Course Editor screen

3. Click to see which resources have been updated over a specific time frame.

NOTE: When you import a resource into a course, you get the most current resource by default.

You can also fix the version of a resource used in a course, so it will not change automatically should the author republish it.

However, LON-CAPA recommends that you use the default settings to keep all resources up-to-date because most resource changes are improvements by their authors.

There are three parts to the "Check Resource Versions" screen.

• Change display

  Select the time frame for which version changes are to be displayed, and click the
  

  Display

  button to update the listing. If resources changed within the time frame they will be listed in date order with most recently changed listed first.

• Actions

  If you wish to apply a version rule to all resources imported into your course, click the
  

  Go

  button for one of the two options - either always use the most recent published version for all resources, or fix all resources to the version currently in use in the course.

• Version choice(s) for specific resources

  If you wish to fix only specific resources to a particular version, but allow others to use the most recent version, select a version from the select box for each of the resources to be fixed, and click either of the
  

  Save changes

  buttons.

  The "History" column includes links to versioned resources and also links to display the differences between any version and the most recently published one.
