Add teaching material

Outcome You upload course files, code, or data into the Master Instance, where you will work on them before distributing to students.

Before you start

• You are a Space Administrator of the course (creators automatically receive this role).

• You have the material ready to upload from your local machine.

You always work in the Master Instance - a private working environment dedicated to developing and maintaining teaching material. The Master Instance is not visible to students by default. Once material is ready, you distribute it from the Master Instance to all students in one operation.
