Student upload folders enable students to upload their own content to a course. Instructors can then use these uploads to create assignments just like any other document in the library.
Adding a folder
- To add a student upload folder to the library, click the green Add content button and select Student upload folder.
- Create a name and description for the folder and click Save.
Uploading to the folder
- Navigate to the course library
- Click on the folder with the blue upload icon.
- Upload your document in the form of either a PDF, Word document, or PowerPoint files. Your name will be added to the file names as you upload your file.
Students can only upload one document per student upload folder.
Managing the folder
Instructors can also move materials from the Library into the student folder by clicking the folder, selecting the "+" button, and then clicking and dragging a document from outside of the folder into the folder using the three gray lines on the left side of the document.
At any time, an instructor can hide the folder from students by going to the folder, clicking Edit, and selecting Hide this folder from students.
Creating assignments from the student folder
Once students have uploaded materials into the student folder, you can create a basic assignment, multipart assignment, or a differentiated assignment.
If you like, you can create multipart assignments that include both student folder materials and materials outside of the specific folder. Course grouping settings apply to the student folder materials just like any other document in the library. For example, if the course is set to use automatic groups, use the Groups button in the Library to view the groups set for each document uploaded by students:
As with material outside of the student folder, multipart assignments with different parts corresponding to different documents will result in students being in different groups corresponding to the groups selected for each document.
