This is a sort of optional extra - not necessarily what you'd use for a course page but jolly useful for yourself. Box.net provide a huge amount of space - 1 Gigabyte - which is probably enough for all your documents currently stored on a home computer or college server! From this panel you would be able to access any of those files, wherever you were.

Box.net also provide a facility to share folders so you could use this to provide restricted access to some of your files for particular individuals - a course team or a student group, perhaps.

From the Box.net flake you will need to sign-up to use the free service.

Once that is done you can upload whole folders of files and they will be listed, just as on your computer. Opening a folder will list its contents.

Any sort of file can be included. Common files like documents, spreadsheets, presentations and images will be shown with appropriate icons.

It has also just occurred to me that, if you were smart in the way you named a set of folders and/or blank documents, you could quite effectively create an illustration of something like headings for an assignment or list tasks under different headings!
