Supplemental Course Documents are auxiliary files the course
coordinator wants the student to have access to that are not
necessarily part of the course, such as reference material, handouts,
etc. This is also useful for files that may not be directly viewable
or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint presentations and Word
documents. Supplemental documents differ in how the material is
presented to the student. The student will not see the supplemental
documents unless they click DOCS on the remote control. Manipulating
supplemental course documents is essentially identical to main course
documents, except that main course documents has some options that is
not available in the supplemental documents. Specifically, you cannot
add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page, a
\textbf{Simple Page}, or \textbf{Bulletin Board} since those should be
in the course sequence. Like the Main Course Documents, you can still
add a \textbf{New Folder} (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), add an
\textbf{External Resource} (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), add
a \textbf{Syllabus} (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}), or add your
\textbf{My Personal Info} page (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).

Changes made to supplemental course documents, such as adding new
resources, changing the order, renaming or removing resources will be
visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
\textbf{re-initializing course} button on the course document screen, whichever
comes first.

Note: Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents do not
carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
documents that can be used in multiple courses, please ask you
LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
