Understand what libraries do for you and how to manage them.


What is a Library?

A Library is a named, reusable set of files. Libraries are attached to classes and then used to quickly deploy files to participant labs and Student Classroom pages. Since libraries are pre-loaded into the cloud account, there is no wait time for files to upload. Instead, they are injected almost instantaneously into the running labs and student classrooms.

 

Libraries serve a number of different purposes. For example, a library is a good way to include required software installation or configuration files that a lab participant (an instructor or student) might need during the class. A library is also a good way to distribute class content like presentations, exercise instructions, and exercise samples.

 

Libraries can be manually deployed at an instructor's discretion or marked "Automatically Available" so they install in their intended location (labs and/or student classroom). If manually deployed, the instructor simply selects the Send icon in the Actions column of the Libraries section on the Class Delivery page.
