Educational Resources
If you have developed a Bible study or other Christian educational resources, we need you! We are working towards an “open source” concept of Christian Education materials to provide to churches free of charge.
What is open sourcing?
“Open Source: denoting software (in this case Christian educational materials) for which the original source code (in this case Christian materials and content) is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.”
What you need to know:
- The materials submitted MUST be owned 100% by you. They cannot contain graphics that have been copyrighted or created by someone else (or you must own FULL licensing to use the graphics for redistribution).
- We will never sell these materials. Ever.
- The materials will be openly available for EVERYONE to access.
If you have developed Christian Educational Materials and would like to open source them here, please do so by submitting all components in a ZIPPED (compressed) file via the form on this page. Your submission will then be reviewed, and if accepted, we will happily publish it here to open source for all to freely use.
How to Zip Files
- Select all the files you want to zip together by holding the CTRL key and clicking on each one.
- Click the right hand button on your mouse, and select “Send to” from the menu that appears.
- Select “Compressed or Zipped Folder” from the secondary menu.
- This will create a new Zipped Folder, which will show up as a new icon.
- Now you can use the “Browse” function on the application to find that icon and select it for upload.
**Alternate Method
- Open the folder that contains the files you would like to Zip together.
- Click the right hand button on your mouse and select “New” from the menu that appears.
- Select “Zipped File” from the secondary menu.
- A new icon will appear in the folder, which is ready to be renamed. You may use any name as long as it ends in “.zip”
- Drag and drop any files you wish into the Zip file.
- Now you can use the “Browse” function on the application to find that icon and select it for upload.
Zipping a file on an Apple Computer can vary greatly. The best advice we can give would be to search Google for “how to zip/compress a file” for your specific system.
