Plato Folders
Plato is a server that is hosted at
Acadia University that enables you to store class information, host
a class website, and even have students upload assignments that
are too big to be uploaded to ACME.
Through Plato, you can access three
areas; your course folder, www folder and your assignment folder.

see an overview of these three areas on Plato.
Uploading Information onto
Plato
Your “Course” folder (Plato
-> Courses -> Your Dept -> You -> Your Course) you can place any
course related material. If this file is not set up, please contact
Terry at the AITT. This is an especially useful place to put large
files that do not fit on ACME. Students in your class can access
the information placed here. Sensitive material should not be placed
here, as it is accessible to all ACE and AXE account users.

Also on Plato is a “WWW”
folder. This is where you can place a web site for your course (you
may want to put in a link from ACME to this web site). This folder
should not be used for large files. To set up a www folder please
contact Terry at the AITT.

Finally, Plato contains an “Assignment”
folder. This folder can be set up customized to your needs in terms
of who has access and who can add/delete files. To set up and add
features to this folder, contact Terry at the AITT. There are three
different kinds of assignment folders on Plato: Blind, Class, and
Individual. Faculty should note that if they set up an individual
folder structure, that although the structure can be copied directly
onto their computers from Plato for marking, that they must not
paste it back onto plato, but rather upload all of the marked assignments
for each student, so that they do not erase all the rights of the
folders that were set up by Terry.
Note: Assignment folders on Plato
is a place where students can only drop a completed project, they
cannot save directly to it.
