You can edit the assignment at any time:

  • To choose a different resource folder, click on Icon_Link intern.png Change .
  • To completely remove the current assignment, select Icon_Link entfernen.png Remove assignment .

Files from the resource folder that have already been used in the course can no longer be accessed when the resource folder has been exchanged or removed.

You can only embed one resource folder per course.

With the release of OPAL 11.4, the function for embedding a resource folder has become available in the new user interface. How to embed a resource folder in the old user interface through the detailed view is explained in this section:
