Written by Carsten Rhinow

Would you like to give your learners and/or yourself as a learning guide access to digital textbooks? No problem – it's easy! 🚀

​

You can choose whether to assign textbooks to individual users or groups.

Here's how it works:

Assignment for individual users

1️⃣ Go to the Administration section

  • Log in to MLS.

  • Select ‘Administration’ from the menu on the right. Select ‘Users’.

2️⃣ Search for the user

  • If you have a large number of users, it is best to use the filter function in the top right-hand corner. There you can filter by name, email or role, among other things.

3️⃣ Assign technical books

  • Select the user and click on ‘View’. You can then assign the textbook on the ‘Shared content’ tab. You can see how many licences are still available and assign the book using the drop-down menu.

Important: Once you have assigned a licence, this cannot be undone. The licence is permanently used up!

4️⃣ How learners see it

  • Learners and learning guides can find the textbooks under ‘My Content’ and then under the ‘Books’ tab.

Assignement for groups

1️⃣ Go to the Administration section

  • Log in to MLS.

  • Select ‘Administration’ from the menu on the right. Select ‘Groups’ here.

2️⃣ Search for the group

  • If you have a lot of groups, it's best to use the search function in the top left corner.

3️⃣ Assign textbooks

  • Select the group and click on ‘Edit’. You can assign the textbook on the ‘Shared content’ tab. The freely available licences per book are displayed. Click on ‘Assign licence’ to assign the book to the group. Done!

Important: Once you have assigned licences to a group, this cannot be undone. The licences are permanently used up!

4️⃣ How learners see it

  • Learners or learning guides can find the textbooks under ‘My content’ and then under the ‘Books’ tab.
