Adding File Resources

Resources in the form of computer media files can be loaded into the OFS web application and attached to classes for use by students. Suitable file types are as follows:

.pdf - Portable Document Format
.jpg,.gif,.tiff - Image
.mov, .mpg, .wmv - Movies playable in Quicktime
.swf - Shockwave Flash animation

Step One
Copy the resource into the 'Resource Dropbox' folder located inside your 'My Classes' folder.

Step Two
Select the 'Resource Dropox' menu item while logged in to the OFS web application.

Step Three
Give the file a description and assign a subject and class if you wish the file to be attached to a class for student viewing. Click the 'Add' button when all fields are completed. The file will be loaded into the web application and will be removed from the list. No further actions are necessary to attach to a class.

Step Four
If the file was attached to a class then you can edit, delete or preview the media on the 'Resources' tab of the class detail view.
