Introduction

The Resources tool in Oncourse allows you to store files in a central location and access them from any computer with an Internet connection. You can access the Resources tool from within Oncourse, or you can use WebDAV to drag and drop files between your computer and Oncourse Resources.

You can also use Box to store and share files. You can access your IU Box account by clicking Box at IU in the upper right corner of Oncourse. For more about Box, see the ARCHIVED: Box at IU help menu.

The rest of this document gives a general overview of your options with the Resources tool. For more specific instructions, see ARCHIVED: Resources.

Note: Filenames that include certain characters cannot be accepted. For a list of unsupported characters, see ARCHIVED: Unsupported characters.

Personal Resources (My Workspace)

If you're unable to log in, see ARCHIVED: Why am I having trouble logging in?
The My Workspace tab is selected by default. If it is not selected, click My Workspace at the top.

In Resources, you'll see your My Workspace Resources folder, to which you can upload files. For more, see ARCHIVED: Viewing and opening items in Resources.

Site Resources

Site leaders can store files and folders for academic and collaborative work in Resources, and can control who can view, upload, and move files. To see the files and folders for a particular site to which you belong:

Uploading and downloading multiple items
