The digital drop box enables students and instructors to exchange files.
To send a file to an instructor using the Digital Dropbox:
- Click on the “Tools” button in the course menu.
- Next, click on the “Digital Drop Box” link.
- Here you will find two buttons namely, “Add File” and “Send File”. If you choose to only add a file and not send at this time, you can click “Add File” button.
- Click on the “Browse” button to locate the file you would like to place in the Digital Drop Box.
- You can then add a file and send it at a later date.
- And if you wish to send the file immediately, click on the “Send File” button and follow the same procedure.
- Make sure that the ”Files of Type” menu is set to “All Files.” Select the file you wish to send and click on the “Open” button.
- Enter your last name and assignment title (i.e. Research Paper) in the “Title” box, type any comments you want your professor to read, and then click on the “Submit” button to send your file to your instructor.
If you are not using Microsoft Word, be sure to save your assignments in .rtf format. You can change to this file format by choosing “Save As” to save your document and changing the “Save File as Type” to Rich Text Format (.rtf).
