Administrators who want to learn how to add and manage Induction resources.

Administrator permissions are required.

Effectively managing and expanding your resource library is essential for creating comprehensive and engaging Induction courses that cater to diverse learning styles and organisational needs. This guide will walk you through the process of adding new resources such as documents, videos, and interactive elements to your Lucidity Induction system, as well as best practices for organising, updating, and maintaining your existing resource collection to ensure it remains relevant and easily accessible.

1. Resources

The Resources screen is part of the Course Module page and is where administrators upload eLearning content (resources) for the user to view or read while completing the module.

2. Managing resources

A module must have at least one resource as this is the content the user will view or be directed to. Several resources can be added to a single module if required. For example, a module may consist of Part A and Part B. Or there may be a PPT, a video, an interactive presentation and a link to a procedure stored in the organisations Intranet. Resources will be displayed to the user in the order displayed in the list.

3. Add new resource

To add a new resource, from the Module page:

1. Click Add.

2. Complete the fields (see table Definitions of fields below).
3.  Click Save.

Note: The details captured for each course may vary slightly between each system configuration. Fields marked with * are mandatory.

3.1. Definition of fields

Field	Definition
Resource Type	Select File if a file is to be uploaded. Select Link if an external link is to be used.
Resource Name	Enter the Resource name.
Upload	If the resource type is a file, click Upload. .jpeg, .pdf, .docx etc files can all be uploaded as a resource. In order to be a SCORM presentation, the file uploaded must be a .zip file For more information on file types to upload, see the Resource Material section on this page in the User Guide. Unpacking Time When uploading SCORM files, it is important to allow the system at least 5 - 10 minutes to "unpack" the files. Prior to this the resource will display as a .zip file and not a SCORM file. Saving, logging out and then logging back in can also assist in this process.
Link Address	If the resource type is a file, copy and paste the URL.
Description	Enter a description or instructions relevant to the individual resource, such as "read the full document then return to this page to complete the assessment."
Display in Popover	Tick to enable the resource to open in an popover window i.e. it sits in front of the course navigation screen. This enables a Close button to be displayed in the presentation. Always select this option for PDF files. Responsive Presentations The popover option is required for PDF resources. This ensures navigation tools are available to the end user and ensures every page is viewed prior to being marked as complete. The popover option is not recommended for responsive SCORM resources (ie - SCORM content that adapts to different device sizes such as mobile phones). Errors may display in presentations when this is selected on mobile devices. The popover option is not recommended for links and URL resources.
Time Delay (seconds)	Enter time delay in seconds. The time delay inserts a pause before the close button appears. In other words, setting a time delay can help prevent a user from closing the resource before completing it. The close button is disabled until the time delay is reached. If the resource is not SCORM, depending upon the number and length of the slides/ presentation format, it is recommended to set the time delay for at least 2 minutes. This feature can only be utilised in conjunction with the Display in Popover option.
