KnightVision Course Files
Each KnightVision course you teach has a designated folder.
Because a given course's content is only available during the semester it is taught, permanent Master Course folders have also been created.
Files that will be re-used over multiple semesters should be stored in the appropriate Master Course. (See below) |
KnightVision > Content tab > Course Content |
KV |
Each KnightVision course you teach has a designated folder.
By default, files are only visible to instructors and teaching assistants, but can be easily shared with course students. Files can be linked to from KnightVision courses and can be easily updated. Also, because the system is secured, intellectual property used for instruction can be stored here to help prevent copyright infringement (via the Teach Act).
