EDU System Tools • If Yes, the program deletes the file and returns you to the Website Editor. • If No, the program remains on the URL form, and you must use the Back button to return to the Website Editor. Working with Folders in the Class Web Site Creating Subfolders To create a subfolder: 1. Click the folder icon next to new subfolder. 2. A form appears, prompting you for the name of the subfolder. When creating the name, use letters, numbers, or underscores in the name, but not spaces. 3. Click OK. 4. The program adds the subfolder at the top of the Web site explorer and opens it. If the web site has more than one subfolder, the program arranges them in alphabetical order. Each subfolder has its own icons for creating a new subfolder and for uploading files. Use these to create sub-subfolders and to upload files to the subfolder. Closing Subfolders When a subfolder is open, the Web site explorer does not show the subfolder or upload icons for the root level of the Web site (the top level). To close a subfolder: 1. Click the icon by the name of the subfolder. You return to the root level. 2. Click the icon again to open the subfolder and work on its files. Deleting Subfolders To delete a subfolder: 1. Click the icon by the name of the subfolder to open the subfolder. 2. Click Delete. 3. The program prompts you for confirmation. If you click Delete when you are at the root level (that is, when no subfolder is open), an error message appears indicating that you cannot delete the Public_Html directory, which is the main folder for the Class Web Site. Course Modules The system's Course Modules tools provide a way to share your class content with others, including related assignments and any web resources (e.g., images) used by your questions and assignments. • When you create a Course Module the system packages the class elements you have identified, producing a single, installable zip file that can be archived or redistributed to other users of the system. Those users can have classes on the same server or on any other EDU, or Brownstone-powered server. • It is an ideal method for content management of entire classes full of related question banks, assignments, and web references, and allows you to include all or only specific parts of those classes in the Course Module package. • Using Course Modules is similar to the Share Class capability in that it allows you to share your class content, however once a Course Module is distributed and installed in a new class location, it does not maintain any synchronization with the original source class or its materials. • Course Modules ensure transportability of content from one class to another, archiving of entire class contents, and even portability of class content between EDU and Brownstone-powered servers. • When you create a Course Module, the web reference URLs inside your question banks are converted to a portable format, so that when you install the Course Module in a new class, these can be set to the class website address of that class - automatically, by the system as part of the installation process. 25
