I want to open a folder as a homework vault

Folders used to collect assignments, term papers, etc., can be placed in the Homework Vault folder (shortcut /ode/) which is placed in course Study Materials folder (i.e. in the File Manager). If you need this folder to be structured into several sub-folders (e.g. for each seminar tutor in the course), create a new sub-folder using the Folder icon (

The Information system Teacher [course selection] Work with study materials Homework Vaults

You can create homework vaults either in this folder, or using the application in the Teacher's Notebook which we recommend, see the question Homework Vault management – simplified).

If you set up homework vault directly in the File Manager, you can use the tool:

set rights and then Open this folder as a Homework Vault,
change rights and attributes individually via Set rights and then Add another right,
set attributes ("allow only the owner and teacher to read the files in the folder and its sub-folders"), for details on attributes see the question What are folder attributes?.

this method is less convenient, so it is to be used in exceptional cases when you need to place the homework vault in the IS folder other than in the Homework Vault /ode/ folder.

Changes to homework vaults created under Homework Vault /ode/ folder are reflected immediately. Homework vaults created outside the /ode/ folder are updated once a day during the night.

For the evaluation of the submitted files, you can use the notebook that you create via

The Information system Teacher [course selection] Work with study materials Homework Vaults

If you want to stop students from uploading their files into the homework vault, you can close it:

immediately – removing the right to upload,
at a certain time – using the "Set validity dates for rights to read and rights to upload" option in setting of the rights. When the time is up, the homework vault will close immediately to students.

Homework vaults created under the /ode/ folder will stop appearing to students immediately after rights removal/expiration, homework vaults outside the /ode/ folder will stop appearing in student applications by the next day.
