A resource is an item that a tutor can use to support learning, such as a file or link. Moodle supports a range of resource types which tutors can add to their courses. In edit mode, a tutor can add resources via the 'Add an activity or resource' link. Resources appear as a single link with an icon in front of it that represents the type of resource.
