An Instructor Volume (IV) is network disk space, provided by Information Technology (IT), where an instructor can store assignments and programs for students to access. Students can attach their network session to an Instructor Volume and copy or read the data files or run programs.
PC Network Instructor Volumes are not backed up by Information Technology. It is the responsibility of the instructor as the IV owner to maintain any backups. However, Instructor Volumes on the Mac Network are regularly backed up by Information Technology.
Students have read only access to Instructor Volumes. Write access is available on the local hard disk and the student's network disk space.
Note: If you have questions or need write access to a Network Instructor Volume for your students, send an email note to NTSM.
