How to browse, view, and download study materials shared by your teacher on Lena.
Your teacher uploads study materials β documents, PDFs, images, videos, and
other files β organized in folders within each course. Hereβs how to find and
use them.
Before you begin: You need to be enrolled in a course. See Joining a
Course.
Go to the Courses tab and tap the course you want to view. Youβll land on the course home screen.
2
Go to Study Materials
Tap the Study Materials tab within the course. Youβll see folders and files organized by your teacher.
Screenshot: Study Materials tab showing folders and files
3
Browse folders
Materials are organized in folders by your teacher. Tap a folder to view its contents. Folders can be nested (folders within folders). Youβll see a list of files and subfolders inside.
Look for the download icon (usually an arrow pointing down)
The file will be saved to your deviceβs downloads folder
Download materials when you have a good internet connection so you can study
them offline later β especially useful before exams or in areas with
unreliable connectivity.
You canβt create, rename, or delete folders or files β only your teacher can
manage the study materials. If something is missing, ask your teacher to
upload it.
Check your internet connection - Try refreshing the page and tapping the
file again - The file format might not be supported by the built-in viewer β
download it and open with a compatible app on your device
Materials are loading slowly
Large files (videos, high-resolution images) take longer to load - Try
switching to a faster network (Wi-Fi instead of mobile data) - Download the
file for faster access next time
I can't find the materials my teacher mentioned
Check all folders β the file might be in a subfolder - Ask your teacher
which folder itβs in - The teacher may not have uploaded it yet
