· It can save a lot of time if you start using descriptive and self-organising filenames. It is also good to get students used to it as it can get quite confusing as a marker when they call documents Assignment 1.docx as it has no real meta information.
As an example, for this assessment 2024ES_ATT502 A1-Part C Reflection v1.docx. I know it seems a lot, but it really helps as it identifies the year/author, the files will be in order, and tells me what to expect, plus what version it is. As I use multiple machines and often work collaboratively a version number helps me keep track of which is the latest and means I have an earlier version as a backup. It is useful when developing courses and when doing a significant collaborative work like my PhD.
