Adding metadata to a resource manually

The easiest way to add metadata to a resource is to type it in manually.

Note  If you want to use a template, import metadata, or copy metadata from another resource, do so before manually entering data as any data you enter is erased when you apply existing metadata from another source.

Enter metadata

1. Click the Content link in your course navigation bar.
2. Click the  Edit Metadata icon for the course or for a module or topic.
3. Enter metadata using the fields in the Value column.
4. If the Value column does not contain a data entry field, click the Edit icon beside the field name to edit the item.
5. If the item does not have an Edit icon or a data entry field, you cannot edit the item.
6. Click Save.
