What is the Resources tool?
The Resources tool allows instructors/site owners to share a wide variety of files with their students or members within a site. Individual users also have their own Resources within their personal My Workspace area.
Instructors or site owners can upload files (e.g. word processing documents, spreadsheets, slide presentations), create and post HTML (web) pages and simple text documents, and share library citations and links to useful web sites.
Instructors or site owners can organize these files and links into folders and subfolders making it easier to locate and access items. Folders and files in Resources can be moved or reordered within a site or copied from one site to another.
Files and folders can display contextual remarks, can be shown, hidden or viewable only during specific dates and times. Instructors can automatically notify site members by email that an item has been added to Resources.
Resources also allows users to upload multiple files using the Drag-and-Drop interface, or using the WebDAV protocol.
Note: For instructions on how to add this or any other tool to your site, see How do I add tools to my site?
