How do I use a dropbox to turn in assignments?

The first step is to look for the word "Dropbox" on one of the toolbars, usually at the top of the online course window. Click on "Dropbox" to open it. Most instructors will have a list of folders. Each folder's name should match up to an assignment you have been given.

Click on the folder that matches your assignment. Here you should see the words "Add File". Click on it to get a "Browse" button. Click on "Browse" to look for your document. Click on your document which could be located in "My Documents" or on the "Desktop". Click on the document/file name and then click on the "Open" button to select it. Click on the word "Upload".

A new window, an e-mail window will open. You will see your attached document/file, a Comment box to type a message to your instructor and a submit button. Click on Submit to send your document/file to the dropbox. To check on it. Click on the dropbox tab again and then click on the assignment folder. Your document should now appear in the folder.

Some instructors may have different dropbox folders available. They may have you place your assignments in a folder with your name, a folder with a group name, a folder with an assignment or quiz name or a folder with a date. Look at the Course Home tab or the Course Content to discover how your instructor wants you to submit work.
