I would say that any VLE should be able to retrieve/call materials from any
Content WebServer, via URLs
On that basis, put all your materials onto one or more Content WebServers,
and you can access them as necessary, providing your course building area
allows you to use URLs rather than network-type addresses for material
records/links
