I used to be a big proponent of putting a lot of stuff online for students.
After two upgrades to learning management systems, where most of the class material I worked hard on was damn near impossible to import into the new system, I am considerably less enthusiastic. Everyone has a limit to how many times they are willing to key in the same stuff. Again.
I've recently upgraded most of my online materials to be links to Google Drive and Google Docs. I do a lot less uploading now, I just update links when things change. Much easier. I'll admit, I can't do that with quizzes and tests, but it helps.
