The Digital Dropbox is a tool that instructor and students can use to exchange files. The dropbox works by uploading a file from a disk or a computer to a central location. A participant can then download the file to work on it locally. Individual student access to the dropbox is available from the Digital Dropbox area located in Student Tools area on the course Web site.
Students also have group access to a private dropbox from a group homepage.
The Digital Dropbox is used to exchange materials between a single student and the instructor. Information that needs to be posted for all students should be placed in the Course Documents area. The functions available on this window are described in the table below. The Add File page will appear. The Send File to Students page will appear.
