Submit an external document

Your instructor can design questions that require an external document upload (Example — you might be required to draw a graph by hand and submit the graph to your instructor for grading).

There are two ways for you to submit an external document:

Directly upload a document from within the activity
Reference a document code and send the document directly to your instructor

Submit a document using direct upload

Certain questions in your activities may require you to directly upload a document from within an activity question.

To directly upload a document from within a question:

Click Choose File within the question response area.
Navigate to where your document is stored on your computer and select it.
NOTE: The file types permitted for upload are defined by your instructor and are listed below the response area.
Click Open.
TIP: If you've selected the wrong document in error, click Choose File again and select the correct document that you meant to upload.
Click Upload.
TIP: Click the name of the document to preview your selection in a new browser tab.
TIP: If you've uploaded the wrong document in error, click the choose file icon and restart your upload at step 2.
Continue working through your activity.

Submit a document using a document code

Certain questions in your activities may require you to send a document directly to your instructor (Example — send an email from your school email account) while referencing a document code.

To submit a document to your instructor that references a document code:

Click Generate Document Code within the question response area.
A unique document code is generated for you.
NOTE: Document codes can be numeric, letter, or alphanumeric values.
NOTE: The document code that's generated is unique to your profile and the question that requires an external document.
Click Done in the document code preview to return to the question.
Take note of your personalized document code that's now displayed in the question response area. You can continue working through the activity. At any point, you can independently contact your instructor (Example — send an email from your school email account) and attach the required document. Be sure to reference the document code that relates to your submitted file.
