Course resources and folders?

Course resources and folders?

Hi!

Is there coming that kind of situation, that teacher can create folders within, for example in week, and can create resources inside of that folder? Some courses may have lots of material, for example language courses, and there organizing of resources is important.

Also a team is working on incorporating MyDMS into Moodle.

As I've begun to set up a sample Moodle course for our professors to test, we have noticed that the lack of folders for organization of Resources is a drawback for Moodle.

This is one of the (few) benefits of Blackboard that Moodle doesn't have yet.  I'm referring to the "Course Materials" and "Assignments" modules in Blackboard.

Without having to read the entire two discussions mentioned above, can someone summarize briefly for me ths status of this feature?

Thank you.

Our school is close to choosing Moodle!  We just have to convince the key stakeholders that by switching from Blackboard to Moodle, we will not lose anything, but will gain a lot more.
