7.  Is it possible to download files in batch? This question came from a faculty member who would like to download students' homework assignments in a dropbox, by one single click.  This request has come in previously and has been submitted to the R&D team for review but as of yet hasn’t made it to the production timeline. Epsilen ePortfolio Faculty Training Seminar CTL Q&A

8.  After homework is past the due date, is it possible to lock the access from students (so that late submissions won't be allowed?)...does it work by making, say, a Drop Box not public any more?  Drop Boxes can be locked in the “Course module” but NOT in “Groups” Epsilen ePortfolio Faculty Training Seminar CTL Q&A

9.  Likewise, how does one lock down access to a file (e.g. a resume) past a given date, without deleting the file.  If you are still referring to course Drop Boxes then again if you lock the drop box that contains the file not only does it prevent students from uploading new files to the box but it also prevents them from editing existing files. Epsilen ePortfolio Faculty Training Seminar CTL Q&A

10.  Is it possible to upload MP3 files? (Is there limitation on any file format?)  Possible to open and play MP3 files from someone else’s ePortfolio?  This file type is not restricted  If the file is shared you can download it but there is no built in audio player Epsilen ePortfolio Faculty Training Seminar CTL Q&A

11.  What is the file size limit on uploads?  In the course module, is it possible to export a course?  File upload limit is 50MB per upload  Not currently but Epsilen has plans to introduce additional flexibility for importing & exporting courses later this year Epsilen ePortfolio Faculty Training Seminar CTL Q&A

12.  Can one create a “Group” for alumni without them having to login? (i.e. without them having an Epsilen account?)  Yes, anyone with the URL to the Group page can visit it; however, they will not be able to contribute or interact with the Web page.
