Replace an existing Course guide in the LOR

In case there is a new version of the Course guide available, you can do so by using the tools that Brightspace provides.

This article will show you

Limitations: only users with the role of Educational Designer or the original uploader of the initial document to the LOR can replace or delete that document.

Furthermore, when a Course guide is uploaded under the same name, it is added as a new file to the LOR with the same name. This is because the name is not unique within the LOR (this is how the LOR works). Therefore, replacing the Course guide is the only solution!

Like the first steps to publish the initial Course guide to the LOR you must first prepare the Course guide document in PDF format. Be sure to use the correct filename: CourseCode_Year Course Name (e.g. HNH24806_2019 Introduction to Epidemiology and Public Health.pdf).
