She is required to publish the assignment online, and also to prepare a slide show with an audio summary. The university provides a hosted website for each of its students in the course, but access to the site is restricted to registered students taking the course who are provided with password access. A number of students do not have affordable access to the internet at home, so Theresa wants to include local copies of supporting resources she has found on the open web for download from the website that will only be accessible through the institution's local network. She plans to include the following resources:
  1. The full text of Hamlet edited by Charles Kean who died in 1868.

  4. A local copy of the BLC production of Hamlet from Youtube.
