However, we want to get away from having many different passwords for students to remember, so we'd like to make a change to this system. One idea that came up right away was to use our course management system (we use Sakai). That raises questions such as whether we should copy those audio files into each course that's using them, or if we should put a page of links into each course, but store the actual files in another web space. If so, then we'd want to ensure that the files could be accessed freely via Sakai, but would be protected from direct access outside of Sakai. Any suggestions about good systems or solutions you've developed on your campus? Thanks in advance for the input, --Daryl Daryl L.
