Looking for Help with Learn?

From the beginning of the 23/24 academic year, all new courses will be delivered using an updated Learn interface. In order to ensure that users can access support materials for current and previous year courses we have kept old support materials on Edweb pages and created a new Sharepoint Learn site full of useful resources for the new interface.

For Learn resources for current courses, please visit the Learn Sharepoint (University of Edinburgh users only).

Here you can access the most up-to-date information such as:

Good practice guidance
Training and support resources
How to guides

To access support material for older courses please use the pages below as usual.

Ensure that Edit mode is switched On (toggle switch in top right corner of the screen).
In any content area or content folder in your course site, you’ll see a Build Content button. Click on Build Content, then click on Item (first option of the left hand Create section).
What you enter in the Name box, appears at the top of the published content section.
In the Text editor box, you can add various types of content, including but not limited to: text, files and hyperlinks.
Click on Submit when finished.
