And you can do that with the Shared Resources Tool.

If you go to the Advanced tab while editing the Share Resources tool, you'll see the options:

Allow learners to add files
Allow learners to add URLs

So students can share files with each other using this. They can add as many files as they like.

Note that if you want your students to keep adding files after they have finished the Share Resource, you might want to tick off the Lock when Finished option as well.

You can do the same thing with Forum. In the advanced options in forum you have the option for students to attach a file. So they can post messages with their deadly ppts

Also, there's a Lock when finish option in Forum.

I think the Teacher's Guide should have all these options explained.

Thanks,

Ernie
