Tweaks to Shared Folders Page

Today I made some tweaks to how the Shared Folders page works. I used to have one big area full of folders, but upon reflection this didn't seem like such a good idea for some technical reasons. So, before people really started using this area, I made some adjustments.

When you login to the Shared Folders page, you'll be taken to your group's folder (e.g. Cognitive Load, Graphic Organizers, or Self-Regulated Thinking). The only people who will have access to this folder are you, other students in the same specialization group, Vito, and myself.

In terms of coordination amongst group members this probably works better. As a result I've now activated automatic notifications for each group. That means if someone uploads a file to your group's folder, then everyone else in the group will get an email giving the name of the file uploaded. For example, today I uploaded two files to the Notetaking group (a PDF and a short audio note from me). They (Kamal and Nasa) should have received emails about this. In the future I may add articles or short audio notes to other groups also.
