  • Pop-up descriptions from IU

  • Dropbox notifications

    • students will see an option (similar to mail tool) allowing them to pick an instructor / instructors to receive an automatic mail

    • selecting the 'email instructor' checkbox will reveal the box which allows them to pick who gets the email - for clarity / consistency, they can't change the text of that mail at the moment

    • instructors see a box they can check that will send a mail to the student who owns the drop box

  • Dropbox discrete interface changes

    • Drop Box

    • Include WebDav link for students and instructors

    • Remove the 'location' bar from 'student folder' view ?

  • Dropbox larger interface changes - to change all at once

    • students should not see the 'access' option (i.e. the choice between 'public' and 'site members') -

    • students should not see the standard email notification option -

    • students should not see the 'availability' options (i.e. the time settings) -

    • students should not see copyright options

    • instructor sees timed release option, but not the 'access' settings (to make it public)

How the registry works

  • Providing a way for resource-type registrations to customize the "access" action

  • Customizing "size" in UI to be more appropriate to different types of resources

  • Creating a basic upload action to enable customizable upload of special types of resources

  • Providing a way for helpers to manage creation of resources entirely
