About Uploading with WebDAV:
To transfer a folder or multiple single files into a course, set up a WebDAV connection which allows for multiple files/folder uploading.
Depending on the Windows version (2000, XP or Vista) accessing Internet Connections may differ, but the process of creating the connection will be the same.The following screen shots were done on XP (NOTE: connecting using WebDAV on Vista you MUST download and install the following Windows Update from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=17C36612-632E-4C04-9382-987622ED1D64&displaylang=en).
Macintosh users can utilize this same technology by downloading "Goliath" from http://www.webDAV.org (over on the right select the link for "Goliath", then choose "Download")
Create a Network Connection (Windows):
From the Desktop, click the icon for "My Network places" (may be called Network Connections or Internet Connections on other operating systems). Vista: From the Desktop, click Computer, then Map Network Drive.
Select the link for "Add a network Place". Vista: On the Map Network Drive Screen, click Connect to a Web site that you can use and store your documents and pictures, then click Next.
Proceed through the Network Place Wizard, clicking the "Next >" button to continue. Vista: Click Choose a Custom Network location, then click Next.
Select the link for "Choose another network location" and click "Next >".
For Internet or network address for BOTH XP and Vista: enter the Internet address specific to the course the files will go to. This address is dependent on the server (Instructional or Development) and course ID.
To connect to the Instructional server use https://wct01.hawaii.edu/dav/yourcourseID. To connect to the Development server use https://wct02.hawaii.edu/dav/yourcourseID.
How to find Course ID:
The course ID is the unique name given to each course created in WebCT and can be found in the URL or address in the browser once you log into the course, right between the words "/SCRIPT/" and "/scripts/". Course ID's on the Development server begin with the campus, UH username and a number (ex: manoamcconnel3), while courses on the Instructional server begin with campus, number/letter, CRN, year and semester code (ex: MAN3A36258200533).
Click "Next >" to continue.
Enter UH username and password, click "OK".
Leave the name of the network place at the default OR name it the name of the course, this will remain available in Network Places to access at anytime. Click "Next >".
Click "Finish".
To complete the process and open the portal or window to the course, log in with UH username and password, click "OK".
Drag and Drop:
Minimize the Network Connection window to view the desktop or location of the presentation folder. Click on the folder or files to upload, hold mouse button down and drag into the white space of the window for your WebDAV or Internet connection.
Uploading has begun, please wait.
