5 Schedule allows instructors or site organizers to post items in a calendar format. The calendar has day, week, month, year, and flat list views. Many instructors use Schedule to post readings for each class on the day they are due to be read. Research, group, and department projects often use Schedule to post group deadlines. Merging calendars: All calendars on sites you have access to are merged in your My Workspace Schedule. In worksites, you can click Merge to selectively merge calendars from other sites to which you have access. Schedule ENC 1101ENC 4044 ENC 3035

Using the Resources tool, you can share many kinds of material securely with members of your site, or make them available to the public. You also have your own private Resources area in your My Workspace. You can upload files (e.g., word processing documents, spreadsheets, slide presentations, and videos), as well as create and post HTML (web) pages and simple text documents, and share links to useful web sites.

It allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. Once you have set up WebDAV, your computer will treat your Resources section like any other folder on your local system. You will be able to drag and drop files and folders from Resources just as you would on your computer. Webdav username ENC 1101ENC 4044 ENC 3035
