My Work (resources folder)

The most important tool in the room is probably My Work (resources folder).

The buttons on the right give all options to organise a sensible structure with folders, sub-folders and contents. As the structure grows you may want to see the whole tree structure. Click on the little button (Folders) on the far right next to the printer symbol - this is an on/off-switch for this purpose.

Folder is first option. It should contain documents, plans, and links and so on that will eventually be added:

In this introductory course we will not be looking at other options that may be available. However, it may be in order to point out the two options Hidden folder and Individual folders in addition to the customised option Regular folder.

Hidden folder:

This choice makes it possible only for those with delete or owner rights to see the folder with its content. It can be practical for the teacher to create various files that will not be accessible to students all the time:

Individual folders:

This is a handy functionality that automatically creates an individual folder for each student who is a member in the room. The folders are given the student's name and have customised access so that only the individual student and the teacher can view the folder (and its contents):

Now, first we create a regular folder and enter a suitable title. By choosing Save your first folder is in place. We create a couple of folders in the same way, and the resource folder may look like this:
