Print-friendly

By default, students and teaching assistants enrolled in or affiliated with your "private" iTunesU course space will have "user" access to the content you upload there. This means they can access the content, but not contribute to it. You can change the role of all staff (TAs, Graders, Course Managers, etc), all Students, or a specific TA or student to enable them to "manage" content in your course space. In granting this level of access, the designated individuals will not only be able to upload files, but they could also perform other access management tasks such as uploading an image, naming or renaming tabs, or editing meta data associated with media files. If you simply want to allow students to upload content to your iTunesU course space, consider setting up a Drop Box there (See How Do I Create and Use a Drop Box for Student Submissions?)
