All content in an Ultra course is in the main Course Content area in the center of your course.
To add syllabi, readings, or other general content, click on the plus sign where you'd like the content.
Uploading Files
If your content is saved on your computer, choose Upload.
Locate the material on your computer and double-click it. Once you do, it will upload to your course. You can also drag and drop content into your course, but make sure that the content area of your course turns purple.
Either way, the file will be hidden from students by default. Click "Hidden from students" and change it to "Visible to students" to allow students to see the item.
Adding Written/Media Content
If you prefer to either type out instructions or show media, you can create a Document.
Choose Create from the plus sign menu.
In the menu at the right, choose Document.
Give the document a name at the top. This will be the displayed name that students click on.
Click Add Content.
You have the content editor and can type in your content.
To add a video or other media that you have the address for, click the plus sign and choose Media.
Paste in the address in the URL box, enter alternative text in the box, and click Insert.
If you don't know the address, click on YouTube Video.
Search for a video and click Select.
Choose whether you want the video to display in Scholar or be a link. Then, click Submit.
If you want to add a picture from your computer, click the paperclip icon.
Select a file. Then, give the image a title, and descriptive alternative text. Then, choose "This file displays inline..." and click save.
The image will be added to the page.
Students will have to click on the item to see any of the content. If you do want to have some text showing to the students before they click on it, you'll need to edit the description. To do so, click the gear.
Add a description and click Save.
Finally, you'll need to make the item available to students by changing it from "Hidden from students" to "Visible to students."
Finally, click Save.
Adding External Links
To add a link to content elsewhere on the internet, you'll add a link. Click the plus sign and choose Create.
On the right-side panel, choose Link.
Give the link a name, and if you want students to see it, choose "Visible to Students". Then, paste the address in the "Link URL" field. If you want a description of the site to display to students, enter it in the Description field. Then, click Save.
