Introduction

The Resources tool in Oncourse CL 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 CL, or you can use WebDAV to drag and drop files between your computer and Oncourse CL Resources.

This document gives a general overview of file storage options. For more specific instructions on storing your files using the Resources tool, see Resources.

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

Personal Resources (My Workspace)

You can store personal files and folders in Resources on your My Workspace tab. To see your personal files and folders:

1. Log into Oncourse CL at: https://oncourse.iu.edu/

   If you're unable to log in, see Why am I having trouble logging in?

2. The My Workspace tab is selected by default. If it is not selected, click My Workspace at the top.
   
   
3. From the menubar, click Resources.

In Resources, you'll see your My Workspace resources folder, to which you can upload files. If you migrated files from CFS or Filemanager in original Oncourse, you'll find them in subfolders within the My Workspace resources folder. For more information, see Viewing and opening items in Resources.

Site Resources

Course and project 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 course or project site to which you belong:

1. Log into Oncourse CL at: https://oncourse.iu.edu/

   If you're unable to log in, see Why am I having trouble logging in?

2. At the top, find the appropriate course or project site, and click its tab.
   
   
3. From the menubar, click Resources.

For more information, see Viewing and opening items in Resources.

Uploading and downloading multiple items

You can use WebDAV to upload and download multiple items to Resources. With WebDAV, you can browse your Resources folders, and drag and drop items just like you can with items on your local computer.

Note: WebDAV is not available for use with Guest accounts.

For instructions, see:

• Uploading files to Resources using WebDAV with Windows XP or Vista
• Uploading files to Resources using WebDAV with Mac OS X

Help is also available from within Oncourse CL. From your My Workspace tab, click Resources and then Upload-Download Multiple Resources.

Quotas

The quota for a course site or project site is 1GB, and the limit for individual files is 200MB unless you use WebDAV. To request a larger quota for your site, see What are the default disk quotas for UITS accounts, and how do I request an increase?
