Techniques: Native Doc vs Copy ‘n Paste vs HTML Moving your documents to CourseInfo server. Use “Native Document” – LINK 1. Examples (.doc, .xls, .pdf, .txt, .ppt) 2. (requires the user’s machine to have the proper program) Copy and Paste the document contents (works alright if only text and very simple) Create an HTML version of your document 1. Link to the HTML file 2. Copy and Paste the HTML code 3. For complicated file sets (a doc and associated images) one must work harder. a. Zip the file sets and Unpackage in CourseInfo b. Paste the “index.html” file and answer all CourseInfo’s questions about missing images.
