Share all course materials in HuskyCT using OneDrive in Ultra Course View

Students, faculty, or staff who are using HuskyCT to teach a course can share all of their class materials (files) at the beginning of the semester. Follow this guide to learn how to share a live-copy of your data. If you update your files, or add more, at a later point your students will have access to them without any extra interaction from you.

Share the data

Following these steps, you will share a folder instead of a file. This allows you to add/remove/edit all files within the folder without the need to re-share items.

1. Visit s.uconn.edu/onedrive and sign in with your Email address and NetID password.

2. Click on My Files in the left-hand menu and find the folder containing the files for the course.
   If you do not have this folder yet, please create it now.

3. Right click on this folder and click Share.
   Now you need to decide how you would like to handle access to this folder.

   1. You may allow anyone with a UConn email address to view the files if they have the link. Skip this step if you would like to restrict your Share to your students.
      Note: This is a one-time setup for your course.

      1. Click on the settings gear to alter the permissions of the share link.

         Open

         

      2. If you want to restrict your files to your students only:
         Note: This is a one-time setup for your course.
         If you do not wish to restrict your files to your students only, choose People in University of Connecticut from the list. Be aware that this means anyone with a @uconn.edu email address.

         1. Enter your students' email addresses but do not click Invite when you are done.
            To quickly get the email addresses of all of your students, follow this guide: Share OneDrive data with Students quickly in Ultra Course View

            Open

            

            As you enter each address, you should see the student’s contact card appear.

         2. Once you have added all of your students, click on the settings gear to set whether the students should be able to Edit or simply View the contents of this folder.

            In the “More settings” section, click on Can edit if you would like to change the access to Can view to prevent any changes to the files. Setting to Can view also prevents other users from adding files.

         3. Click Apply.

         4. Click Copy link.

      3. Post (paste from your clipboard) this link in your course on HuskyCT. Place this link somewhere your students will be able to find it throughout the semester.
