No. Instructors must create a bSpace site for each course. They add students to the site by adding the official class roster. They do not need to add students manually (though they do need to add GSIs and co-instructors manually).

Login to bSpace and click Preferences in the toolbar. Click the Customize Tabs link at the top of the screen. Sort your site tabs with the arrows and then click the Update Preferences button.

Large PDF files (greater than 5 MB) may not work with the Acrobat plug-in that allows you to view PDF files in your browser.  If you experience this problem, you must download PDF files directly to your computer.

For PC: Right-Click the file name and select the Save Link As option.

For Mac: ctrl-Click the file name and select the Save Link As option.

Yes.  You can download files from a bSpace Resources folder using
WebDAV ("Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning"). The
following steps will point you to the instructions for setting up
WebDAV, which is a file transfer protocol that allows you to drag and
drop files to a folder on your computer. 

You need to first have an empty folder on your desktop.  This is where you are going to drag the files.  You then need to setup a WebDAV folder (each individual bSpace site needs it own) to grab the files. 

Finding the WebDAV instructions:
1. Log in to bSpace and click the tab for the site you wish to access
2. Click the Resources button in the toolbar
3. At the top of the page, click the "Upload/Download Multiple files"
link. This will open a page of detailed instructions, which includes the
URL you need to use to set up your folder.
4. Follow the instructions listed on the page for the computer set-up
that matches your own (Windows XP, Mac OS X, etc.)
5. Once you have a folder set up on your computer (a new network place), you will be able to drag and drop files from the appropriate bSpace Resources folder. The user name and password you're prompted to enter is your CalNet ID & Passphrase.

You can now move Resources from a particular site into your desktop folder.
