Course Reserves

Adding a "tag" to a Course Reserve Item gives instructors and students another way to organize their materials.  Once tagged, items can be filtered to only show ones with a particular tag.  Instructors have 2 types of tags that can be attached to any Course Reserves Item. 

• Personal Tags (only the person logged in can see the tags).
• Instructor Tags (these will be visible to all students enrolled in that course)

Both personal and instructor tags can be attached in 2 ways. 

• Batch tagging multiple items
• Tagging each item separately
