The new Content Management feature in the account portal allows the instructors to add external content for their students. The instructors can add external content within the XtremeLabs platform at the course level and module level by navigating to the Content Management page under Dashboard menu.
The instructors can record lectures, share external readings, video or audio presentations, additional course material, create activities and quizzes for their students and share them in lab portal and modules simultaneously. The content can be added on the course and module levels. These new features are live in all our classes across the globe.
