Create a New Legacy Library

Create a New Legacy Library#

Use legacy content libraries to build a pool of components that can be used in randomized assignments in your courses.

Warning

The Legacy Libraries feature will be supported through Teak, moving to unsupported in Ulmo. Teak will include a one-click migration feature that will make it easy to convert a Legacy Library into the new Library interface.

See Content Libraries Redesign - Beta for more information.

To create a new library, follow these steps.

Log in to Studio.
Select New Library.
Enter the required information for your new library, then select Create.

Note

Enter new library information carefully. The values in these fields become part of the URL for your library, therefore the total number of characters in the Library Name, Organization, and Library Code fields must be 65 or fewer.

For Library Name, enter the public display name for your library. Choose a meaningful name that will help you and other course team members to identify the library. For example, “Level 200 Math Problems”. When you add a randomized content block to a course unit, you use the library name to specify this library as a source for the randomized assignment.

For Organization, enter the identifier for your university. For example, enter HarvardX or MITx. Do not include spaces or special characters.

For Library Code, enter an identifier for your library that is unique within your organization. This code becomes part of the URL for your library, so do not include spaces or special characters in the code.

Select Create.

You see the new library, to which you can now add components. For information about adding components to a library, see Add Components to a Legacy Library.

After you create a library, you are automatically assigned an Admin role for the library. For information about adding other users to a library after you create it, see Give Other Users Access to Your Legacy Library.
