GETTING STARTED ASSETS
OVERVIEW
In the top navigation, you’ll notice three dropdowns: Assets, Courses, and Admin. When you start developing courses, you will likely spend start in Assets dropdown adding your images, videos, audio files, and documents into the system and organizing them into Collections. Then you’ll move onto creating your courses using the Courses dropdown. And when you’re ready to distribute your courses and/or view the analytics you’ll spend your time in the Admin dropdown.
WHAT ARE ASSETS?
Assets are images, videos, audio files, and documents (PDF, Word docs, and Excel spreadsheets). C4EBridge offers a robust digital asset repository, so you can quickly access uploaded assets from any device and add them to the course(s) you are developing.WHAT ARE DIGITAL ASSET LIBRARIES?
C4EBridge provides a digital asset repository where you can upload images, audio files, documents, and videos onto a secure cloud. Uploading and organizing your assets is one of the first things you’ll do when you start developing an online course and organizing them is paramount as you create more and more courses. These assets live on a secure cloud so you can access them from anywhere at any time. So let’s start organizing your assets by creating your first collection.CREATE A COLLECTION
We recommend that you organize your assets into collections to make them easily filtered when building your course. It’s good practice to name your collection based on the name of your course.
Next, let’s upload some assets and add them to your collection.
- Log in to C4EBridge
- Navigate to Assets > Collections
- In the bottom left corner of the Collection screen is a + Create Collection Button, select it.
- Enter your Collection Name and then select Create Collection (Best practice is to name the collection the same name as the course)
- A green ‘Success’ message appears in the bottom right corner, indicating your Collection has been created.
