Instructor Volumes

An Instructor Volume (IV) is network disk space, provided by ASU's University Technology Office (UTO), where data files, assignments, and programs may be stored by an instructor, for students to access. Instructor volumes can be mounted as drives to Mac or Windows based machines. For more information and to request an IV see:

Web Hosting:

ASU's University Technology Office (UTO) now offers web hosting services. In the case of instructors, it allows you to set up a shared filespace in which you can store course content, and then link to the content from any number of courses. This is a huge advantage in cases where the course content is used by many different course sites (example Training courses, courses that have many parallel sections like SPA101, etc) because all of your content is in one place. If you need to update your content, you only need to change it in one place and the change will be reflected accross all of your course sites.

Once your hosted web space is set up, you can upload files or install a variety of applications into this hosted space. Files can be uploaded by using any SFTP client application For more information and to request a hosted site see:
