Teachers,

To create a drop box in Moodle, please do the following:

• Click on your course homepage
• Click “Turn Editing On”
• Go to “Add an activity”
• Select “Advanced Uploading of Files”
• Type “Drop Box” in the “Assignment name” box
• Type “Send files through the dropbox here.” in the Description Field
• Select “No Grade”
• Check “Disable” under Available from and Due Date
• Set "Maximum number of uploaded files" to "10"
• Set "Enable Send for marking" to No
• Click “Save changes”

Advanced User Hint:

Review the default settings under “Advanced uploading of files”. Some teachers may wish to enable students to submit notes. Email alerts can be configured to email teachers when a new file is posted or updated by a student.

Note:

There are other methods of submitting assignments in Moodle. Please contact the Moodle Administrator (shansen@randolphcollege.edu) for more information if interested.
