<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">An other option would be to use a file format that uses only a single file. I think spatialite could work. Another option could be to use a csv with WKT. This way, they could also open the text file in a text reader (like notepad) and actually see the content of the file. This way, you could also work more notions of geometry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I could help you with this. I was a trained elementary teacher in Ontario and Quebec before becoming a archaeological GIS guy!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers!</p>

<p dir="ltr">I have created .shp files for them to use but when they go to the folder to add the .shp, all the supporting files are also present, so we are struggling. Is there a way to set the settings so that only the .shp appears as an option to them?</p>
