Technology for Professors -- A Users Guide

Information about the parts of the Course Materials sites that prospective students can see.

If you use the Easy Posting program, allow guest access, or use the AcademicWiki with guest access allowed, prospective students will be able to see the materials that you allow them to see. To see what they can see, please go to http://www.eckerd.edu/academics/coursematerial

If you use the Easy Posting program, every time you post a document the program will ask you if you want the document restricted to students in the class or available to prospective students or if you want to allow guests to access your course.You can select students only for some files and prospective students for other files. The program will put the files in separate folders and prospective students will only be able to see the files that you are allowing them to see. If you choose to allow guests to view your site, they can see all the posted documents as well as content posted in discussions (forums) and Wikis, but they will not be able to post or edit anything. Here is a snapshot of these options:


You can allow guest access without using the Easy Posting program. Just click on "Settings" under "Administration" on the left side
and select "Allow guests without key" from the "Guest Access" drop down menu.

If you use the AcademicWiki site for your course we will put a link into the Course Materials site (Moodle) that will allow students to find this resource easily. If you allow guests to access your AcademicWiki site, a link to this site will appear on the list of sites available for prospective students.
