If you are using LearnCube's Online School Premium, you will have the ability to share folders with other users.

In LearnCube's Content Library, the folder owner controls the files. You can share files with other users, but they will not be able to edit the file properties or share the files with other users.

Sharing files with teachers

When you give teachers access to folders, they will be able to access those files in class and preview them in the Library Admin, but they will not be able to edit the file in the Library Admin.

Sharing files with students

Students will be able to preview files shared with them in the Library Admin, but they will not be able to edit the file properties or download the files.

Personal Folders

Every teacher and student has their own personal folder. Only they can edit or remove files in these folders.

In addition to folders shared with that user, ...

  • School Admins can view everything.

  • Teachers can view their personal folders and the main school folder.

  • Students can only see their personal folders.

Pro Tip:

Files previewed in the Admin Library always have a watermark so that they are more difficult to copy.

If you want the student or teacher to be able to download a file, it's better to send it to them as an attachment to an internal message.

Sharing a whole folder with students or teachers

If, as an Admin, you want to share a whole folder with a student or teacher, simply click on the "Share Folder" button.
