How to download your teaching resources

  1. Either on the website, or in the app,
    • find lessons or resources you want to use
    • click on ‘+ APP’ to send them to the app
  2. Open the app to download all of the lessons and resources that you requested.
  3. Once downloaded, you can launch the resources without an internet connection.

Using your downloaded resources

Open the menu and go to the Downloaded Content section to see your downloads.

Tap on a resource or lesson to launch it.

You can filter your downloads using the search on the right and use ‘Lesson’ and ‘Resource’ tabs to just see either lessons or resources.

Browsing the website

When you are online, you can browse the website for resources from within the app. This is provided as a quick and convenient way of finding lessons and resources to download, without switching apps.

Managing space on your device

Some of the rich multimedia resources are quite large. If there isn’t enough space on your device to download everything that you have requested you will be prompted to remove items from the queue, or items that you no longer need.

It is not currently possible to download PDF documents for offline use; however, this is a feature we are actively working on.
