Add an Attachment to an Assignment

1. You can add any number of attachments, and they can be any combination of local files, websites, and resources.
2. If you want to add an attachment to an assignment, follow these steps.
  • Click the Add Attachments button.
  • Attachments may have already been uploaded into your Resources area, so when you click on Add Attachments, your resources area will open up. If the attachment is already in the Resources list, select it for attachment by clicking on the Attach a copy link to the right of the item. (Refer to the module on miscellaneous features for exactly how to do upload documents into Resources.)
  • If the item you want to attach is NOT already located in your Resources area, simply click on the Browse box in the Upload local file area, locate the document you want to use, and click OK.
  • When you upload the local file or attach a resource, the item will be listed at the top of the Add Attachment page. You can now select more items to attach. When you're done, be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page and click Finish to have your attachments added to the assignment.
 
3.
After clicking Finish on the Add Attachments page , you are returned to the Adding an Assignment dialog box. Continue on with creating your assignment as explained in the previous section (essentially, this is the last step, so just click on Post to complete the assignment creation.
 
4. When a user (student) clicks on the assignment, a list of the attachments is displayed, allowing the viewer to open and view attachments.
5. After creating the assignment, you can view how it looks by clicking on Student View at the top of the Assignments page. When you're done, switch back to the Assignment list by either clicking on Assignment List at the top of the page, or on the little Jiffy Lube logo to the left of the Assignments title at the top of the page.
