I am just a trainer, using my employer's totara V13 installation to add/modify content within the courses and modules I have been assigned, so I neither have administrator privileges nor deeper knowledge. Following my colleagues' lead, who had about as much totara training as I did (none at all), all I did at first was to upload my externally prepared teaching material (PDFs) to the system to share them with my trainees.
Having found out more about the exciting possibilities of totara, I recently added more dynamic content like a self-test quiz for my trainees, or self-learning ressources like book content with relevant information. And then I got stuck: How can I create and modify content at one location that is being used within different courses / modules? This was triggered when I noticed I had course content that was necessary for distinct courses, and so far I did the rather inelegant pseudo-solution of exporting the content from one course and importing it into another, creating a distinct copy.
Looking at the ressources I found here, the only possibility I identified so far is to create a SCORM object and link it to the courses with auto-refresh enabled, but this seems to be sub-optimal as this would separate the creation/editing of this content from the totara "ecosystem"...
Do you happen to have any hints for a better solution or could you point me towards any helpful ressources? I
