ANSWER:

WebDAV (World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) folders allow you to access and manage course files and folders from your computer.  You can copy files to your course by dragging and dropping them from your computer into your course WebDAV folder.  A WebDAV folder is just like any other folder on your computer.

You can set up WebDAV folders on Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista (service pack 2) operating systems.

Depending on the browser that you are using, do one of the following:

If you are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer as your browser:

• Navigate to My Files area or folder for which you want to create a WebDAV folder and, next to its title, click the ActionLinks icon. A menu appears.
   
• Click Open as Web Folder

A WebDAV folder is created in My Network Places on your computer and a window appears, displaying the contents of the course folder. Files and folders that are added or modified in the WebDAV folder are reflected in the course folder when you are connected to the Internet.

If you are not using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your browser:

• Navigate to My Files area or folder for which you want to create a WebDAV folder and, next to its title, click the ActionLinks icon. A menu appears.
   
• Click View WebDAV Info.

A pop-up window appears, displaying the server path to the folder in the Folder path text box.

• Ensure that the text is selected in the Folder path text box and, on your keyboard, press CTRL+C. The text is copied.
   
• From your Windows desktop, double-click the My Network Places icon. The contents of the folder appear.
   
• Double-click Add Network Place. The Add Network Place Wizard pop-up window appears.
   
• Ensure that your cursor is in the Type the location of the Network Place text box and, on your keyboard, press CTRL+V. The text that you copied is pasted into the Type the location of the Network Place text box.
   
• Click Next. The Enter Network Password pop-up window appears.
   
• In the User name and Password text boxes, enter your online courses' user name and password and click OK. The Add Network Place Wizard pop-up window appears.
   
• Click Next. Your user name and password are authenticated.
   
• Click Finish.

A WebDAV folder is created in My Network Places on your computer and a window appears, displaying the contents of the course folder. Files and folders that are added or modified in the WebDAV folder are reflected in the course folder when you are connected to the Internet.
