The real thing is text-only, of course. Before the beginning of each semester, a folder is automatically created for each academic course scheduled to be taught. Course folders offer private shared space in which course members and instructors may exchange information. Instructors can place copies of syllabi, reading and writing assignments, schedules, datasets and other material within folders. Students can then access these materials using any computer connected to the campus network.
Students can place completed assignments within folders.
Too, course folders permit multiple individuals to work jointly on projects, with each person being able to make changes to the original file. Course folders are NOT the appropriate venue in which to place scanned copies of articles for your students to read. For this purpose, Library staff have perfected their Electronic Reserves project. Contact Janet Sietmann at x6545 for more information about placing materials on E-Reserve. Course folder names are eight characters in length.
