The operation is similar to that of a local resource, with the exception of an intermediate step: the information of the resource on behalf of the library (taxonomic fields), before its integration in the course. An “author” teacher with appropriate rights can also add a shared resource directly from the library, according to two modalities: - Add to the course a shared resource already existing in the library, rather than creating a new one. - Navigate the library from the course (the context is kept during this navigation), in order to allow a rapid deployment or publication from the search results. ==== Access from a course ==== Enable editing mode, then select **Add an activity > Shared Resource**. The "Shared Resource" activity is generally used in conjunction with the [[blocks:sharedresources|block Shared Resources]]. ==== Add and manage shared resources ==== The shared resources differ from the classical resources of a course by the following characteristics: * They are referenced and indexed in a single location of the platform. * Their identification is independent of the Moodle context. * They benefit from a complete documentary indexing, in accordance with the market standards. * They can be invoked for several classes. * They can be exposed and listed by other systems. * They can be invoked or transferred to other Moodle instances via a network share of the library. * They can represent documents, as well as dynamic teaching objects (see the “Resource Types” section). As a central and documentary library, it has its own search engine, based directly on the standard metadata of the platform’s active documentary scheme. ==== Types of resources ==== * The shared library is designed primarily to host "file" type resources, but also allows you to index a resource as a URL. * It can represent dynamic educational objects ready to be deployed in courses, in SCORM (interoperability standard) format or as "Moodle objects", offering richer interaction and integration possibilities than the SCORM format. * It can represent any Moodle activity in the form of an MBZ file, thanks to the "Activity Publisher" component. [[blocks:activitypublisher|See activity exporter block documentation]]. ====Case of use ==== The main use cases are: * Add a new resource to the library (direct addition in the holdings) : [[:mod:sharedresource:userguide:addinstance|consult corresponding documentation]]. * Add an existing shared resource to a course : [[:mod:sharedresource:userguide:searchinstance|consult corresponding documentation]]. * Add a new shared resource to a course : [[:mod:sharedresource:userguide:addandpublish|consult the corresponding documentation]]. ==== Complementary use case (documentalist) ==== The role of documentalist gives access to additional features of managing the holdings.
