The Prerequisites and Course Description are optional and they can be filled out in a later time.
The Display Grade Levels are used for displaying the course in the "List by Grades" menu tree.

The following a sample resource edit page:
To delete an existing uploaded file: Check the check-box circled in red.
To upload one or more files: Click on the button circle in green. Some browsers such as Firefox and Safari allow you to drag and drop files for uploading.
To delete an existing URL: Check the check-box circled in blue.
If you need to add a URL other than one that begins with http://, just type the whole URL into the URL box. For exmple: https://domain.com. The application would display https://domain.com instead of http://https//domain.com. This applies to all URIs such as file://, mailto://, ftp://, https:// etc.
To hide a resource from users other than the course editor(s) and read-only teacher(s) assigned to the course, uncheck the check-box in brown color on the top.
