Folders
How
to create folders and move documents into folders on your ERes page
Folders are a great way
to organize your ERes page - you can create folders for dates that readings
are due, by topic matter of the course, or by subject matter (exams, articles,
homework solutions, etc.). You can create folders at any time during the semester
and move material in or out of them whenever you'd like.
Start by logging in to your
Page Management functions.
 |
You can see that
your folder options include Adding a folder, Deleting a folder,
Modifying a folder (changing its title or adding/changing its password),
or Changing a folder's contents (for example, if you decided halfway
through your course that you wanted to create a folder and move all of
your written assignments into it).
Let's start with
simply creating a folder.
|
|
Choose
a folder name and a password if you'd like. This is the wording that will
appear on the ERes coursepage.
|
 |
 |
Sometimes you might want to
add a document to a folder that already exists.To do that, go through the steps
to add a document (see How to use your ERes Account).
When you get to this screen, choose a folder to which you'd like to add your document.
 |
Use the
pull down menu to scroll through the list of folders on your page - when
you find the one you're looking for, you can hit the tab key or move the
cursor with your mouse down through your other options. |
To modify a folder, click
on the Modify a folder option.
 |
Once
you've selected your folder, you can change the wording of how it appears
on the ERes page or add or change the password.Click on the Continue
button. |
|
If you decide to create a
folder halfway through the course and you'd like to move material into it, choose
the Change folder contents option. You'll get this screen:
 |
You can
hold down the control key in Windows to select as many documents as you'd
like - use the pull-down menu to select the folder to which you'd like to
move these documents. You can also move one document at a time. |
| As always,
ERes gives you a clear indication that you've successfully completed your
task! |
