Sunbird houses a wide variety of content. Users can directly create content on Sunbird or upload content created offline. For more details on uploading content, created offline, refer Uploading Content

Resources are the simplest/smallest unit of content that can be created by any user on Sunbird using the inbuilt content editor.The various categories of resources that can be created on Sunbird include:

  • Experiment
  • Learn
  • Play
  • Practice
  • Read
  • Teach
  • Test

Each of these categories corresponds to the learning process/methodology that is deployed to teach a particular piece of content. For example, a tutor creates an activity and the intent is to educate the learner about a concept through a game. The resource category in this case is, Play. Similarly, a tutor creates a story to enhance the reading skills of the learner, the story falls under the category of Read.
