Detailed Explanation of the Template’s Structure and Content
1. Basic Course Information
Objective: To provide an overview of the course and ensure all materials are linked to the correct course and session.
- Course Title: The name of the course being submitted.
- Instructor Name: The name(s) of the instructor(s) responsible for the course.
- Course Duration: The time period for which the course is offered (start and end date).
- Course Description: A brief summary of what the course covers and its key learning outcomes.
- Course Code: A unique identifier or code assigned to the course (e.g., C101, BIO203).
Why This Section Matters:
This ensures that materials are linked to the right course and helps the admin team to categorize them for students.
2. List of Materials for Submission
Objective: To itemize and categorize all course materials that will be included in the course.
- Material Type: Specify the type of material being submitted. Common types include:
- PDF Documents (e.g., lecture notes, reading materials)
- Audio Files (e.g., lectures, podcasts)
- Video Files (e.g., recorded lessons, tutorials)
- Quizzes or Exams (e.g., PDF or online quizzes)
- Images/Graphics (e.g., diagrams, charts, photos)
- Links to External Resources (e.g., web pages or third-party platforms)
- File Names and Descriptions: For each material, provide a clear name and description. This helps instructors ensure they are submitting the correct files. Example: “Week 1 Lecture Notes (PDF)” or “Chapter 2 Video Introduction to Photosynthesis (MP4)”.
- Required File Format: Specify the compatible formats that work seamlessly with the SayPro mobile app (e.g., PDF, MP4, MP3, JPG). Instructors should ensure all materials adhere to these formats to ensure smooth functionality, especially offline.
- Example Formats:
- PDF for documents
- MP4 or WebM for videos
- MP3 for audio
- JPG, PNG, or GIF for images
- Example Formats:
- Size Limitations: Specify the maximum file sizes allowed for each material (e.g., “Video files should not exceed 500MB”). This is important for ensuring efficient downloads and usage of offline features, as larger files may take longer to download or may be incompatible with mobile devices.
Why This Section Matters:
Clear categorization and file naming ensure that all materials are organized correctly, easy to access, and in the proper formats for the app.
3. Offline Access Compatibility Check
Objective: To ensure that the materials submitted are fully optimized for offline access in the SayPro app.
- Offline Accessibility: Indicate whether the material needs to be available offline. Some materials may be optional for offline access (such as supplementary readings), while others, such as lecture slides or key resources, should be prioritized.
- Required for Offline Access: Mark which materials need to be downloadable and available without an internet connection (e.g., lecture notes, main readings, assignments).
- Optional for Offline Access: Mark materials that can be accessed only when online (e.g., supplementary links or videos that aren’t critical for core learning).
- File Compatibility for Offline Use: Confirm that the files can be downloaded and accessed offline. For example:
- PDF files must be accessible offline without requiring a specific app or plugin.
- Video files should be in widely-supported formats (MP4 or WebM) that can be played on most devices without needing an internet connection.
- Audio files should be in formats like MP3 to be compatible with mobile devices’ offline players.
Why This Section Matters:
This ensures that materials are properly formatted to function offline, preventing issues like unplayable files or inaccessible materials when learners are not connected to the internet.
4. Content Metadata and Instructions
Objective: To provide additional context for each material, which will be useful for learners when accessing them offline.
- Description of Each Material: A short summary of what each material covers and how it contributes to the learning objectives. This helps learners understand the importance of each file, especially when they are accessing the materials offline.
- Learning Objectives for Each Material: List the goals or intended outcomes of the material. For example, “Understand the basic principles of genetics” for a lecture video or “Complete the exercise to assess knowledge of Chapter 3” for a quiz.
- Suggested Order for Access: Indicate the recommended sequence in which learners should access materials, particularly if they need to follow a structured path for learning. For example: “View Video 1 before reading PDF 2” or “Complete Quiz 1 after Chapter 4 PDF”.
- Required Software/Applications: Note any specific apps or software needed to view or interact with the materials (e.g., PDF reader, video player, etc.), although the goal is to keep everything accessible without additional requirements for offline access.
Why This Section Matters:
Clear instructions and context help learners understand the materials better, even when they are working offline, and provide additional structure for their learning process.
5. File Naming and Organization Guidelines
Objective: To ensure that all files are appropriately named and organized, making it easy for both the instructors and learners to access the materials within the app.
- Naming Conventions: Provide clear instructions on how to name files to maintain consistency and make them easily identifiable.
- Example Naming Structure: “Week1_LectureNotes.pdf”, “Chapter3_VideoIntroduction.mp4”, or “Quiz2_Chapter4.pdf”.
- Folder Organization: Recommend how to group the materials logically. Instructors should be encouraged to submit their materials in structured folders (e.g., Week 1, Week 2) for ease of navigation within the app.
- For example: Folder 1: Week 1 – Materials; Folder 2: Week 2 – Materials, etc.
Why This Section Matters:
A consistent file naming and organizational system ensures that learners can quickly locate the materials they need, both online and offline.
6. Submission and Review Checklist
Objective: To give instructors a final checklist to ensure all materials meet the necessary requirements for mobile app compatibility and offline access.
- Checklist Items:
- All materials are in compatible file formats (e.g., PDF, MP4, MP3, JPG).
- All files are appropriately named according to the naming conventions.
- All materials that need offline access are marked as required for offline use.
- File sizes do not exceed the maximum allowed size.
- A description and learning objectives are provided for each material.
- Folder structure is clear and easy to navigate.
- Materials are submitted by the submission deadline to allow for integration into the app.

Why This Section Matters:
The checklist ensures that the instructor has reviewed all materials thoroughly and that everything meets the requirements for successful integration into the mobile app and offline functionality.
