It was until the class beginning that I found the teaching platform could not display Doc. file.

Painful!

A very good reason to attend orientation.
It’s never too late to learn.
There are a couple of excellent classes to get us started.

And here’s a link to a tutor orientation class
You can upload .doc files to share and your students can download them using the file share pod. The tutor orientation will cover how to do this. If you want to share a document and work on it together, then I would recommend google docs – you need an account with google to host one, but accounts are free…..

Thanks. But I attended tutor orientation classes twice.
I don’t think there is problems with sharing Doc. with others. But it seems that Doc. files can not be displayed and presented in the classroom, which only supports jpg. ppt……, excluding doc. PDF…….

Best way to do this Dawn is using the File Share pod to upload the .doc and .pdf file at the beginning of the class for your students to download. Otherwise you’re right, those file types cannot be view in the Share Pod.

Another alternative is to put the information into .ppt slides?

I like Mair’s idea of Google Docs. I need to think about how I can incorporate that idea.
