Techniques Native Doc vs Copy n Paste vs HTML

• Moving your documents to CourseInfo server.
• Use Native Document LINK 1. Examples (.doc,
  .xls, .pdf, .txt, .ppt) 2. (requires the users
  machine to have the proper program)
• Copy and Paste the document contents (works
  alright if only text and very simple)
• Create an HTML version of your document
• 1. Link to the HTML file
• 2. Copy and Paste the HTML code 3. For
  complicated file sets (a doc and associated
  images) one must work harder. a. Zip
  the file sets and Unpackage in CourseInfo
  b. Paste the index.html file and answer
  all CourseInfos questions about missing images.
