[Building Sakai] Why is the Attachments folder not visible via Resources?

[Sean Keesler]

Wouldn't the rationale be to keep students from deleting/changing the
files that they turned in in response to an assignment?

It would be pretty cool to be able to have access to that collection
of "all of my work" in all my classes if I am trying to assemble a
portfolio to show my future employer what I have accomplished while at
University X. Right now this is pretty difficult to do. I'd need to
actually go to each assignment, click the link to my work and download
it locally and then add it back into the portfolio tools.
