About Locker

Use the Locker tool to upload and store files in Learning Environment. Locker enables you to upload files from your PC, or to create new HTML files.

Files in your personal locker are kept private, though your institution might provide the option for you to make files public.

Group locker areas allow you to collaborate on files with others.

Personal lockers
