There is a new feature in TES (Course file). We have an option either to upload the documents as usual or you can link (copy-paste URL) the course file that you use. For example, if you use Google Drive, copy-paste the link here and make sure you make it as public – so people can see it without having difficulty.
In this picture, you might see that there is a red notification (* not compulsory). This is because I have completed the course file using the old style. I did this back in July 2022 immediately after we presented the marks. But apparently, I have to provide the link of the course file in the URL box. If not, the B3 (Yearly Validation) will be empty (not Green).
Previously, it is time-consuming to complete uploading documents at two different systems. There is no doubt about that. Who am I, though, to challenge that? I only comply grudgingly. I am aware of individuals who give up and could not be bothered to upload the materials to the appropriate systems. Occasionally, a simple hands-on uploading can be challenging if we do not know where the required documents are saved.
Normally, I would simultaneously upload course materials to TES and the faculty’s course file system. This is the “old” practice. Because I am aware with myself with selective memory, I know where the documents (files) are and so do not need to search for them later. Alhamdulillah, with the new feature, I no longer have to do that. I just need to complete my course file in one system and copy-paste the link in TES. (Refer to B5 – Link eLPPT – in yellow color)
Note: I would like to extend my gratitude towards those experts who created/upgraded the systems to make things easier for us as compared before.
