Materials are downloadable files available to learners and instructors within a specific course. Materials are intended to be supplemental, standalone content and cannot be incorporated into a Study Plan or Milestones. BenchPrep offers multiple ways to provide materials to users depending on their needs, configuration, and available tools.

Note: During replication, all uploaded materials will be replicated from one course to another, or from a bank course into an associated course. To learn more about the replication process, click here.

Material options include:

• BenchPrep Course: Material - Course-specific materials accessible to learners through the learning application.
• BenchPrep Course: Toolbox Material - Course-specific materials accessible to learners through the Toolbox in the learning application. If enabled, the Toolbox displays in the top-right corner of lessons and questions.
  
• BluePrint Materials - Course-specific materials intended for instructors and administrators. These materials are accessed through BluePrint and are not visible to learners. Access depends on the user's assigned roles, materials permissions, and role scope.

File types that can be uploaded include:

• PDF (.pdf)
• Excel Spreadsheet (.xlsx)
• PowerPoint presentation (.ppt or .pptx)
• Image (.jpeg, .jpg, or .png)
• Video (.mp4)
• Downloadable content (.dlc)
• Zipped (.zip)

Keep in mind:

• The Enable Student and Instructor Materials feature access must be enabled for uploaded materials to be visible to the intended audience. This feature access can be controlled at the Tenant, Course, and Branch levels. For more information, click here. Depending on the tenant's existing configuration, materials may appear as Resources instead of Materials.
• Materials can be replicated through full course replication. Cart-based replication of materials is not supported.
