How can I copy files from someone elses TigerNet course into my course?
A. Whoa, partner!! Haven’t you heard of intellectual property rights? Oh, this is with the other professor’s permission!!! That’s different. The solution is a little tricky, but it’s not difficult. We need to create a group in TigerNet with you and the donor professor as the only members. The donor transfers the files into the group space (such as the Handouts Bank in the group), using the Copy Course Materials portlet. Once that is done, you can use Copy Course Materials to copy the files from the group into your course. You need to get assistance from Mike Albright in setting up the group. Why do it this way instead of burning the files onto a CD or e-mailing them? You don’t have to re-install the files into your course. The files transfer over intact, in the portlet in your course in which you want them located. Takes you a couple of mouse clicks.
