The Handouts portlet lets authorized users post files for other people to download or view within their browsers. For example, this portlet may be used by instructors who need to distribute materials for a class, or by Campus Group leaders who need to distribute materials to their group members.
Generally, each instance of the Handouts portlet will include different files. Individual handouts may be grouped into sets. When you browse the portlet, you can collapse or expand any set as needed.
