- [00:00:02.989]So there's another feature in Box which allows you to
- [00:00:06.085]share a folder with multiple students, and you don't have to
- [00:00:10.271]necessarily add each student individually to this folder,
- [00:00:13.921]so that's what I have here, this JOMC 131-132 folder,
- [00:00:17.686]is a folder that I have shared with all of my students
- [00:00:21.342]via a URL, and it's basically an open folder
- [00:00:25.838]anyone with the URL can...
- [00:00:28.106]Put files in it, or...
- [00:00:30.506]Move, you know, modify files in it.
- [00:00:35.096]To make the folder accessible, you have to go into...
- [00:00:40.972]Properties, and Folder Settings,
- [00:00:45.333]and then there's an invitation restrictions at the very top,
- [00:00:48.857]there's a section on invitation restrictions,
- [00:00:50.819]you have to turn on this check box, which is,
- [00:00:53.670]Allow anyone who can access this folder from
- [00:00:55.754]a shared link to join as a collaborator,
- [00:00:58.085]and then you can set them as an editor,
- [00:01:00.028]which allows them to put files in or modify,
- [00:01:03.613]so say they put the wrong file in, they wanna change it,
- [00:01:05.947]they can delete their old file and put up a new file,
- [00:01:09.255]and then you can save those changes.
- [00:01:12.260]So you create a new folder,
- [00:01:14.509]you call it whatever you wanna name it,
- [00:01:17.940]I'll just call it testing for now.
- [00:01:20.248]You can then share that folder...
- [00:01:23.600]Via link, so you go to Sharing, Share Link...
- [00:01:29.525]And then you basically copy that URL,
- [00:01:31.510]it gives you a URL for a folder,
- [00:01:33.561]you copy that, what I did then in Canvas was I created,
- [00:01:37.906]I created then an announcement that I basically
- [00:01:41.019]just said here's what we're gonna do,
- [00:01:42.731]and then I put the link to that Box folder in,
- [00:01:45.228]so when the students click that link,
- [00:01:47.457]it opens up a new tab, it brings 'em to that folder,
- [00:01:51.022]and there's a button over on the right side if they
- [00:01:53.049]haven't already joined, there's a Join button that
- [00:01:56.279]allows them to then become a collaborator on that folder.
- [00:02:00.234]So that's, that's how you set up a folder for...
- [00:02:03.542]Students to access, multiple students to access,
- [00:02:06.577]and you don't have to actually put everybody's individual...
- [00:02:10.688]Name in there, you just send them the link, and then
- [00:02:13.541]they join on their own.
