NOTE: We discourage use of the "files" area of individual
courses as this provides less flexible access to files. Placing all
course files in I drive allows students to move in and out of subject
folders through a mapped drive at school without needing to visit the
related course. From home they can do the same thing. They
only need to visit the specific course site IF teachers post instructions,
suggestions, assignments etc. <o:p></o:p></li>
