Preview resource content before you import into your course!

Now you can see before you decide to import. Previously, you saw a list of items in the course, but not the actual item's content. In order to decide if it was useful, you had to import the item(s) into your course space. No more!

Easily search for resources:

Type in keywords such as author, institution, or title in the search field (1)
Click the drop-down menu (2) and search Latest, Most Relevant, Favorite, and Downloaded
Click the Filter button (3) to narrow your search

Changes to the user interface include a resource details page separated into three tabs (1):
