Attachments can be added in many places in ETUDES-NG: to a schedule event, an assignment, an announcement, and a syllabus. Attachments are added the same way regardless of where you're adding them. Any number of attachments can be added, and they can be any combination of local files, websites, and resources.
To Add an Attachment |
|
At the bottom of a page where you want to add an attachment (from inside adding event, assignment, announcement, etc.), click the Add Attachments button. You will be taken to a page that looks remarkably like the Resources page. In fact, your Resources folder does show up in the lower portion of the window. If the item to attach is on your local computer, click on the Browse button to find it for upload. If the item is a link to a web page, fill in the URL . If the item has already been added to your Resources folder, click on Attach a copy next to the item to attach. If you need to attach more documents, continue until they are all selected. They will show in a list at the top of the page. |
|
Note: When uploading or attaching a file, you must include the file's extension (e.g., .pdf, .doc, .html, or .jpg). If you do not, anyone who attempts to display or download the file will get an error message. Click on the Finish button at the bottom of the page to complete the attachment adding procedure. |
|
All attachments that you have added to this will now be listed in the Attachments area. Click on Save Changes, Add Announcement, Post , or whatever button will complete the page you are trying to create. (What it says depends on what tool you were adding the attachment to: announcements, assignments, etc.) |

When a user (student) clicks on the event, announcement, assignment, etc., the attachments are displayed, allowing the viewer to open and view attachments. |

What happens depends on the type of document the attachment is and how their browser is set up to handle that type of document.
If it's a regular document (word, image, pdf, etc.) the student will have the choice of opening the document (after specifying the application to be used to open it or to save it onto the desktop for later use. The student can also specify if other documents with the same extension (.doc, .pdf, etc.) should be treated the same in the future.
If it's a web URL, that web page will open up in a new window.
