I think d&d is a great feature specially if you use chrome that allows you to upload folder structure. It would be great the same behaviour on all browsers and if we could use it in other parts of sakai like attachments, but for now is what we have. IMO we have a powerful team in resources d&d, zip/unzip and webdav, and teachers needs are covered in this aspect. I feel that the next goal of resources should point to versioning files or sharing them across sites... Just thinking aloud.
