Yes, course instructors can request a shared storage space when they fill out the classroom request form in Workflow. Each course can have 1TB free of charge.
The class share can be accessed by the instructor, students who are enrolled in the class, and any additional users specified in the classroom request form in Workflow. The instructor can upload class materials to the class share. The materials will then be available to the students and additional users to view and copy to their individual IDAS home drives. Please note the 2 options below for students' access to the class share.
When instructors fill out the Workflow form, they will be asked to specify their students' access to the class share. Two options are available:
- Read/Write: the students can view, edit, create and delete files in the class share. If you choose this option, students can end up removing files from the class share, making those files unavailable for other students in the class. Please make sure this is what you want before you choose this option in the Workflow form.
- Read Only: the students can view and copy the files from the class share to their IDAS home drives. They can't edit, create or delete files in the class share. They can still edit, create, and delete files in their individual IDAS home drives. This is the option that most instructors choose.
