Content management

A look at the different types of content on Synap and how to use the library

On Synap there are three distinct types of content :

1. Uploaded content - documents, presentations, images, audio clips, videos

2. Authored content - quizzes, notes, surveys

3. Embedded content - iframes, html snippets, videos (streamed)

Whether you're using courses or collections content will need to be uploaded to the platform. Anything you upload to a course or collection will have a copy stored in the library where you can search and filter through items.

The library page

Uploading library content

Content can be uploaded directly into a course or collection, or it can be imported through the library. Use the main menu you navigate to the library page. Use the Create or upload button to select a content type.

Uploading content formats:

• Videos

• Documents / images

• Embed snippets (Presentations, iframes, etc)

• Zip files (for users to download)

• SCORM files

For videos you can either upload them from your device or select a link from a streaming service. All content you upload will need to be saved. Use the Details option on the sub menu to rename the item and add in a short and long description (optional).

Uploading an image in documents

Remember no matter where you upload something, it will also go into the library which means you shouldn't need to upload the same thing twice.
