====== Directory / Folder ======

If you want to make a large number of files available in your course, create a directory for them.
Upload the files to the directory and structure everything clearly in subdirectories.

Upload several files as a packed ZIP archive and unpack them in the directory. A structure with subdirectories is also retained when transferring to a directory.

A directory can be used:

  * for a series of files on a topic, e.g. a set of previous exam papers in PDF format or a collection of image files for use in participants' projects.

  * to provide a shared upload area for teachers on the course site (where the directory remains hidden so that only teachers can see it).


===== Students upload files for everyone in the course =====

So that students can also upload files to a directory, they must be assigned the role "**Student assistant** (Studentische Hilfskraft)" or "**Tutor**" for the directory (only here!).
This is how you assign students a role for a directory:

1. Change to the directory (click on it). \\
2. Under the tab "**More**" select "**Permissions**". \\
3. In the navigation bar change from "**Permissions**" to "**Locally assigned roles**".

  * Select one of the roles "**Student assistant**" or "**Tutor**". \\
  * Select the students in the "**Potential users**" column (hold down the CTRL key while selecting). \\
  * Click on the "**Add**" button to assign the role. \\

You can then return to the main course page.
