[Using Sakai] Sakai usage & features

[JOSE MARIANO LUJAN GONZALEZ]

Hi, we tell our instructors to do the same as Adam describes, build 
their websites using external software like "Dreamweaver" and then place 
them into resources using the webDav functionality which is Great!!

After that, they should get the index url and place it on the WebContent 
tool.

If you don't want students to see all the html files and folders on the 
resources tool, we have used the patches provided by Samoo to hide the 
folder [the one that contains the whole website] but make their content 
available to students. https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-7814

So far, people are really happy with this solution! as soon as we 
migrate to 2.9 we will offer our instructors the Lesson builder tool.

good luck!
mariano
