Sending files from the Digital Dropbox

You can send a file in your Digital Dropbox to one or more students. You can also pick a file to send that is not currently in your Digital Dropbox. To send comments back to a student on a file in your Digital Dropbox, you must pick up the file, rename it offline, and then send the file with your comments.  

To send a file from the Digital Dropbox to one or more students in your course:

1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Click Digital Dropbox under Course Tools.

4. Click Send File.

5. Under Select Users, choose one or more students to whom you want to send the file.

Note: To select multiple students, hold down the CTRL button as you click each name.

6. Select a file to send by doing one of the following:

• Send a file in your Digital Dropbox by clicking its name in the Select File drop-down list.

• Pick a file to send that is not in your Digital Dropbox:

• Enter a title for the document.

• Click Browse and locate the file on your computer.

• Click the file name and click Open.

• (Optional) Include instructions or comments in the Comments box.

7. Click Submit, then click OK.

8. (Optional) Remove the file from the Digital Dropbox to reduce clutter. You can retain the file on your computer for later reference.
