Resources and Activities
There are various resource and activity types which can be added to a course/material/competition. Some of these are only available to you if you have the course manager or teacher role. Some resources and activities are pedagogically suitable for using in any course, while some can only be used in teacher/tutor supported courses. See the table on Pedagogical uses.
