For the people that haven’t seen MyCamTools yet, I’ve made a short video that quickly steps through most of the main functionality of MyCamTools. It just gives a short impression of what we have been doing and what can be achieved using client side development.

The quality of this movie isn’t very good, so if you would like to see the entire movie in much better quality, you can download it over here.
This video might be very quick if you have never seen MyCamTools. If you would like to take a look yourself and step through everything in a normal pace, you can just visit http://mycamtools.caret.cam.ac.uk. If you are not a member of the University of Cambridge, you can write me an email (nicolaas.matthijs@caret.cam.ac.uk) and I will create you a Friends account.
We have finished 2 new widgets to be used on the Dashboard page: Quick FileUpload and Quick DropBox.
Quick FileUpload is intended for lecturers and allows them to upload one/multiple file(s) into the root folder of the Resources tool for the courses they are an administrator on. This also allows them to upload a set of files quickly into multiple courses. First they need to select the site to upload into, then they need to select the files to upload (you can select multiple files in the Filedialog) and finally you just press the Upload button which will upload all selected files and will also show a progress bar whilst uploading.
The second widget is Quick DropBox. Quick DropBox is intended for students and allows them to hand in one/multiple file(s) intothe dropbox of the courses they are a member of. First they need to select the site they want to hand in to, then they need to select the files to hand in (you can select multiple files in the Filedialog) and finally they just press the Hand in button which will upload all selected files and will also show a progress bar whilst uploading. So the basic functionality of this widget is very similar to the functionality of the Quick FileUpload widget.
