Learning Materials

A Material is a link to a piece of content attached to a lesson. LEAST does not host files — it links to content on external platforms. Each material has a URL, a type, and optional metadata.

1. Open a lesson → Materials → Add Material
2. Enter the URL (YouTube links are auto-detected and the player is embedded)
3. Select the material type
4. Enter a title and optional description
5. Set estimated duration
6. Save

When you save a material with a URL from a known embeddable platform (YouTube, Vimeo), LEAST automatically sets the display mode to embedded player. Other URLs default to an external link.

For SCORM and xAPI materials, LEAST registers completion and score:

• Completion is recorded when the package returns completed or passed status
• Scores are stored and visible in the educator analytics panel
• xAPI statements are dispatched to your configured LRS (if set up)

See xAPI & SCORM for technical details.

When a content URL becomes invalid (404, removed video), you can replace it:

1. Open the material → Replace URL
2. Enter the new URL
3. The replacement is logged for audit purposes
4. The Dead Material workflow tool can scan your materials for broken links and queue replacements
