Uploading Course Materials

The Upload Material feature allows students to contribute resources to the ReviZa community. By enabling users to share valuable notes, past papers, and books, the platform fosters a collaborative learning environment. This process ensures materials are organized and structured to maintain high standards and aid discovery by others.

How It Works​

Uploading materials involves a guided process to ensure resources are categorized and well-documented for maximum usability:

Step 1: Select a Course​

Before uploading, users must select the relevant course.

  • The upload option will only appear once a course is chosen.
  • This ensures that all materials are appropriately categorized.
Pro Tip

Accurately selecting the course helps others quickly locate relevant materials.

Step 2: Upload Your File​

Tap the Select Your File box and upload your material.
Accepted file formats include PDFs, Word documents, and images, ensuring diverse content types are supported.

Step 3: Answer Metadata Questions​

Once the file is uploaded, you’ll be asked a series of questions about the material:

  • Compulsory Questions: Required to ensure the material is categorized and searchable.
  • Optional Questions: Provide additional details to enhance the resource's quality and usefulness.

Some examples of metadata questions include:

  • Material Type (Notes, Past Papers, Books, Links)
  • Semester or Academic Year
  • Topic or Keywords
Why Metadata Matters?

Well-structured information improves search accuracy, helping students find the right material faster.

Step 4: Finalize and Submit​

After answering the questions, confirm your upload. Your contribution will be added to the database, enriching the ReviZa community.
