I want to use the same file (image, audio/video, text, etc..) in multiple lessons. How do I save my local file to my SoftChalk Cloud account?

You can upload files directly from within your SoftChalk Cloud account. You can upload individual files, or you can upload complex files (i.e., a .zip package of files) that you created in a program like Camtasia or Articulate.

Once you upload a file or .zip package, you can reference this file or .zip package in a lesson or multiple lessons.

  1. In SoftChalk Cloud, navigate to My Content > Files.

2. Under the Actions menu, click on Upload Files.

3. Click on Choose Files to locate or Drag & Drop your file.

4. Once the upload file(s) appear listed, click the Upload button.

5. The page will refresh and automatically display the uploaded files.

 

IMPORTANT: SoftChalk lessons packaged as a .zip cannot be uploaded into the Files area. Instead, upload the packaged lesson into the Lessons area. Please see FAQ: I have a SoftChalk Cloud account but I have saved my lesson to my local computer. How do I package a lesson to use in Create Online?

For details on how to reference your Cloud files, see the FAQ: I have Files saved to my SoftChalk Cloud account. How do I reference the saved File in my lesson?
