Course materials
Upload syllabus, notes, and links so SOL can draft courses and ground the tutor in your content only.
Materials are the source of truth for a course. SOL uses indexed materials to draft lessons, practice, and quizzes, and to keep the course tutor scoped to what you teach.
Nothing in Materials is automatically shown to students as a file download. Students see what you author and release (lessons, quizzes, discussions).
Why materials matter
| Without materials | With materials Ready |
|---|---|
| Authoring has little to ground on | Draft outlines from your syllabus and notes |
| Tutor risks generic answers | Tutor answers from your course only |
| Concept tags may be thin | Stronger concept coverage for analytics |
Prerequisites
- Role is Professor (or Admin)
- You have joined a section for the course (Faculty onboarding)
Add materials
- Open Materials and pick the course
- Upload supported files, or add an allowed URL
- Wait until status is Ready (processing extracts text and builds searchable chunks)
If a material fails, remove it and try again, or use a cleaner PDF / plain text source. Very large scans without text may not index well.
Safety and privacy
- Prefer your own course files and links you are allowed to use
- Do not upload student education records into Materials
- Processing stays inside the SOL deployment; see Security for AI and retention posture
Next steps
When materials are Ready:
- Author a draft course
- Release only what you approve
- Optionally connect Agent Access tools with
materials:write/authoring:write
