Notes de l'éditeur
How the LR can hold one doc, shared with many learning rooms which will automatically receive updatesIn addition, you can use a learning repository for document management: one master copy is held in the repository and any learning rooms that are using it, take updates from the master document.
More benefits to sharing and using shared resources+ Reuse resources across learning rooms – add them to the learning repository+ And share with your course team for inspiration/master copies for next academic year
