How to handle zipped content packages

A zipped content package downloaded from the Toolkit can be viewed before a decision is made on how to use it. Download viewing zipped resources instructions as a PDF.

Knowing how to upload zipped content packages to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an important step in using many of the online learning resources created by the EDU or other learning content creators. Once mastered, it will open up the possibility of providing students with interactive online learning content which can include formative feedback such as quizzes and drag and drop exercises.
