The Resource library is a shared shelf for your institution. An Institution Admin adds activities and study guides that your own teachers have built; every teacher linked to your campuses then sees them under Institution Library in the teacher app and can copy any of them into their own account to use and adapt. Teachers see the library on app.chimeedu.com, not here. This page is where staff decide what goes on the shelf.

Adding a resource

1

Choose Add resource

Pick Activities or Study Guides, then search your teachers’ content by title.
2

Add

The item appears in the library immediately. Only content owned by a teacher of your institution can be added; archived and temporary activities are excluded.
Nothing is copied when you add an item — the library points at the teacher’s original. Teachers make their own copies when they choose to.

​
What teachers get when they copy

A copy is a fresh, independent activity or study guide owned by the copying teacher. Classroom links aren’t copied, and a map’s activity password isn’t carried over. From then on the two are separate: edits to the original don’t reach the copies. The copying teacher’s own plan applies: their activity limit counts the copy, Graphs & Charts and Diagrams need Plus or Premium, and study guides need Premium. Sharing to the library doesn’t unlock anything for a Free teacher.

​
Availability

An item shows Unavailable when its source can no longer be copied — the teacher archived or deleted it, or they’re no longer linked to your institution. Teachers don’t see unavailable items. Remove them here to keep the list tidy.

​
Removing a resource

Remove takes the item off the shelf. Copies teachers already made are theirs and are unaffected. Leaders can view the library but not change it.
Adoption on the Performance page counts how many times teachers have copied from the library.

​
Subject and grade band tags

Each resource can carry a subject and grade band (the same lists classrooms use) and a short note teachers see on the card. Set them as you add — the Add dialog has Tag items as you add them — or later from Details on a row. Teachers can then filter the Institution Library by subject and grade.
