Introduction
The E-Classroom library is a tool that administrators and instructors can use to manage folders and files regarding E-Classroom courses (courses that are online and that have E-Classroom features).
Users can use the E-Classroom library to navigate through the folders or use the search to locate files posted for their specific course. Users only view folders and documents.
Courses are configured as E-Classroom in Admin mode by users with administrator access.
Types of Folders in the E-Classroom Library
There are two types of folders available in the E-Classroom library:
· Public folders: These folders are shared across all courses that have access to the Library feature.
· Private folders: These folders are available for the selected course only.
By default, two folders - Public and Private - are created automatically in each E-Classroom library. All folders and files that are created will belong to either of these two folders.
Working with Folders and Files
The type of user can manage each type of folder depends on their role with the course as follows:
· The session administrator can create, edit, and delete both private and public folders.
· The session instructor can post files to a private folder (only for the course(s) that they are teaching). Instructors can post files either after launching the course from the user’s learning plan or from the Course Instruction module in Admin mode.
· Students can view files are only available in the course.
Note: If a user is assigned as both an administrator and an instructor, then the user will have the permissions as per the instructor only.
Valid file types for E-Classroom library files include: .doc, .xls, .txt, .ppt, .jpg, .gif, .htm, .html, .pdf, and .docx.
