| 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!
