Resource creates a panel displaying a

Media item in the

Scene.
You can select from three types of this

Resource - Guide, Inspector, or Playable. All three types are described individually below.
Comparison of different types:
Screen Media Guide
A Guide is always present - the learner can not dismiss it (it doesn't have an "ok" button). Guides must be anchored to something in the
...
Scene (a

Scene Anchor or a

Scene Object.) Once the

Media item appears, it will automatically play for the duration of

the Media. After it is done playing it will remain in the Scene and the learner can play it again unless the “close when complete” option is chosen.
To stop the Guide, use a Deactivate Resource or an End Script Resource.

Screen Media Inspector
An Inspector appears when you click the object it is anchored to. Inspectors must be anchored to something in the

Scene (a
