1. Why am I seeing this
page?
This page has been generated automatically by CourseWork. You are seeing this
page because a CourseWork web site was recently set up for
PSYCH 267, section 01.
Since some courses have Leland web sites in addition to CourseWork web sites,
this document serves to explain how to locate Leland hosted web content from
previous quarters. CourseWork instructors, TAs, or course
admins can replace this page by generating a public homepage via the
CourseWork Course Homepage tool. Please see
http://www.stanford.edu/group/coursework/docsUser/adminHelp/ch10s08.html
for more information.
2. What happened
to my Leland web site at http://www.stanford.edu/class/my_class_name?
Content for Leland course web sites and CourseWork web sites is stored in AFS,
an online file storage system. When a new request is made for a course web site
- either via Leland Services or via CourseWork, a new AFS volume is set up for
the course. The path to this AFS volume follows the convention of
/afs/ir/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/subjectnumber.term
(e.g., /afs/ir/class/archive/cs/cs1/cs1.1046 where 1046 is a PeopleSoft code
for Spring 2004).
Content uploaded via CourseWork and content uploaded to a Leland course web
site are stored in the same AFS volume but in different areas. Content uploaded
via CourseWork is stored in the coursework-restricted folder and content uploaded
to a Leland course web site is stored in the WWW folder.
NOTE: although instructors, TAs, and course
admins have access to the coursework-restricted folder, please do not move or
rename the files in this folder. Links to these files in CourseWork will be
broken as a consequence.
Given that the path to a course’s AFS volume is long and difficult to remember, a shortcut path is created at /afs/ir/class/subjectnumber each time a new request is made for a course web site. The WWW directory has the shortcut URL of http://www.stanford.edu/class/subjectnumber (e.g., http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs1). Since this shortcut URL is pointing to current quarter’s content, WWW content from a previous quarter needs to be accessed via the long AFS path.
3. How do I locate the path of my course’s AFS volume?
Course directories that were set up Fall 2001 or later can be accessed via one of the following AFS paths:
For course directories set up prior to Fall 2001, the same scheme applies. However, you would need to know what the directory was named.
AFS term designation can be determined as follows:
Academic Term | AFS Term Designation (based on PeopleSoft) | |
Fall 2001 | 1022 | |
Fall 2002 | 1032 | |
Fall 2003 | 1042 | |
Fall 2004 | 1052 | |
Winter 2002 | 1024 | |
Winter 2003 | 1034 | |
Winter 2004 | 1044 | |
Winter 2005 | 1054 | |
Spring 2002 | 1026 | |
Spring 2003 | 1036 | |
Spring 2004 | 1046 | |
Spring 2005 | 1056 | |
Summer 2002 | 1028 | |
Summer 2003 | 1038 | |
Summer 2004 | 1048 | |
Summer 2005 | 1058 |
4. How do I copy content
from a previous course WWW directory to the current course WWW directory?
Via Unix commands:
Via AFS Mounting:
5. How can I reference
WWW content in CourseWork?
If you wish to point to WWW content within your CourseWork site, then please
use the permanent URL rather than the shortcut URL, which will point to different
content when request for a new course web site is made.
On Step 1 of the Add Content wizard,
6. What should
I do if I have AFS questions or issues?
AFS is managed by ITSS, Stanford’s central computing group. Therefore,
please contact ITSS for questions or assistance related to locating a course directory, obtaining access permissions, or moving course content from one directory
to another.
7. Where can I learn more about AFS?
