Publish course content to Brightspace Learning Repository

In Lessons, you can select course content (unit, lesson, or material) you added and publish it to Brightspace Learning Repository (LOR). This allows you to store, manage, and share the course content as learning objects.

If you added learning objects to Lessons, you can also edit and publish the updated objects back to LOR.

Note: This functionality requires that Brightspace Learning Repository is set up in Brightspace Learning Environment.

  1. In Lessons, select a unit, lesson, or material.
  2. Click the (...) Options menu and select Publish to LOR.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To publish to an existing repository, select Pick a Repository. From the drop-down list, select a repository.
    • To overwrite an existing learning object, select Overwrite an existing object. Click Search. Locate the repository you want to overwrite. To have your learning object inherit the previous object's metadata, clear the Replace existing object's metadata check box.
  4. Click Sharing and Publishing Options. Do any of the following:
    • To include all original files in your new learning object, select Include all files from this course.
    • To leave the page while your package is being built, select Publish in the background.
    • To hide the learning object from searches, select Hide learning object in search results.
    • To associate the learning object with Creative Commons rights, select Creative Commons licensed. From the drop-down list, select your modifications preference. Creative Commons licensing enables you to retain copyright on your work while allowing different degrees of reuse to other users. Associating a creative commons license automatically populates the metadata rights fields with this information.
  5. In the Content area, clear the check box for any item you do not want to include in the package. Clearing a module clears all its associated topics and sub-modules.
