File Resource

File resources of any kind may be upload through either browsing one's computer or dragging files onto the Internet browser and dropping it into your folders.

Multiple files such as SmartBoard projects containing multiple resources may be zipped and uploaded intact.

A user may upload multiple files at one time saving considerable time.

Entire online courses in the form of Blackboard cartridges (zipped file) may be uploaded and then unzipped to automatically populate a course with content and a corresponding folder system.

Again if a different browser is used the file will only be downloaded and not viewed within the browser. This particular file relates to students keeping track of composting materials.
