Using the Digital Dropbox

The Digital Dropbox is a file exchange. It offers a way for students to submit files to instructors or for instructors to send files to selected students. Instructor access to the Digital Dropbox is located in the Control Panel.

Sending a file

1. Select Control Panel > Digital Dropbox > Send File.
2. Select the recipient or recipients.
3. Select an existing file from within the drop box, or a new file using the Browse option.
4. Submit.
5. Students are not automatically informed if something is in the Dropbox. You must inform them if you want them to check the Dropbox.

Note: The Add File option is available if you want to upload a file to the Dropbox. You can then send Dropbox files to students at a later date.

Retrieving files from the Digital Dropbox

1. Select Control Panel  > Digital Dropbox
2. Click the items you want to view and save files as needed.

Note: If you intend to return the document to the student with comments, you must Save the file as a new document on your computer, then send this newly saved document back to the student using the Dropbox. You can also email this new document to the student.
