Resource Manager

QuaverReady curriculum resources are powered by a searchable library and customization platform. This documentation will give you an overview of the entire library of resources and tools available in Resource Manager.

Resource Manager is divided into three main sections:

Topic Index / Resource Sets

You can browse the tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. This is a complete library of Quaver content.

The Topic Index shows the major lesson themes or topics throughout QuaverReady.

The Topic Index is a great browsing tool if you have a concept or topic in mind but are not sure what specific resources you are looking for. Simply select one of the colorful options along the left-hand side. 

The Resource Sets search is very similar to the Topic Index. The difference is that the resource set allows you to filter by where in the curriculum the resources you’re searching for might live.

Use the center section of Resource Manager to search for specific resources by title or keyword.

Use the Grade and A-Z filters to sort and filter results.

Preview Search Results

  • Select any item from the search results to open a preview window at the bottom of the screen.
  • Select Menu > Launch to open the resource in a new window.
  • Select Menu > Get Link to generate a shareable a link for your students.

Resource Folders

The section on the right-hand side of Resource Manager is called Resource Folders. You can create a new folder from the Menu or use the folder provided. Folders house screens, lessons, and assignments.

Right-click a folder to see a contextual menu with:

  • New Folder: Creates a new folder.
  • New Lesson: Creates an empty lesson to be customized.
  • New Assignment Template: Creates an empty assignment to be customized.
  • New Screen: Navigates to Resource Creation to create a new screen. Resources created here will populate in an auto-generated My Custom Screens folder.
  • Rename: Renames selected item.
  • Cut: Cuts selected item to be pasted in another location.
  • Delete: Deletes selected item.

Icon Legend

As you explore Resource Manager, you’ll notice various icons next to each file. These indicate the type of file or screen, such as a lesson, game, or video. The Help button in the upper right corner houses an Icon Legend, showing the various types of icons found in Resource Manager.

Screens

Quaver lessons or assignments are made up of screens. Screens contain various lesson materials, including musical exercises, games, videos, and more! Quaver has a tremendous set of lessons with screens you can use in other lessons and assignments. You can even create custom screens in the Resource Creation section.

To add a screen to a folder, drag a screen from the search window or pre-existing folder to a new folder, lesson, or assignment. Screens built-in Resource Creation will default appear in your “My Custom Screens” folder. You can move these to other folders as needed.

Once a screen has been added to a folder, right-click the screen (or select the screen and click MENU) to see available options:

  • Launch: Opens Screen.
  • Get Link: Generates a shareable link for selected screen.
  • Edit Screen: Allows you to edit custom screens.
    Note: Quaver pre-built screens cannot be edited!
  • Edit Notes/Video Instructions: Adds/edits written and video instructions on selected screen.
  • Cut: Cuts selected item to be pasted in another location.
  • Copy: Copies selected item to be pasted in another location.
  • Delete: Deletes selected item.
