Adding and Grading Files Submitted by Trainees

If you need trainees to submit a document for review as a part of your course, (a Word document, for example) you can now include a file submission page in your course content. This page allows trainees to browse and upload a file for the instructor's review.

The instructor receives an email indicating a file is ready for grading. The instructor can include comments when grading. The comments can be optionally shared with the trainee.

Adding a file submission page

Create a course page that requires a user to upload a file for grading (a Word document, for example). When the file is submitted you are notified via email.

To add an essay question to your course:

  1. Click where you want to insert the essay on the main Edit Content page. Select "Add > File Submission Page" from the menu.  

  2. Enter instructions regarding the assignment. Click Add Page.
