Submitting Assignments and Documents


Click the + to open a section.

It is recommended that you complete your assignments on the original assignment pages. You can download these assignments by navigating to Student Resources (after Unit D) or order copies when you register for the course. 

Scanning your assignment and submitting it online is the best way to receive feedback and a grade in a timely manner. When you scan your assignment, you need to scan it as one pdf file containing all assignment pages in order.     

Please name your file in the following format for lesson assignments:

first name_last name_assignment number_course

For example, if my name was Nancy Drew and I was submitting the first assignment, the file name would be nancy_drew_A1_science30

Multiple methods exist to scan your work without the use of a scanner or photocopier.  Apps are available to use on your smartphones or other devices.
Submitting work through the mail can add weeks to you receiving feedback and may slow your learning process.  Online submissions  typically are marked within three business days of being received with some variance at busier times of the year.

Follow these general guidelines for scanning work regardless of the method you use:

  • Scans must be in PDF file formats and not JPEGs. (Check your file extension.)

  • Assignments must be a single document and not multiple PDF files

  • Check your scan afterwards and make sure every page with work is present, no work is cut off, and that all pages are readable.

  • Submit to the online course. 

Do not email submissions to your teacher.

Download the CamScanner or similar app onto your device.

You need only a free version unless you want the added functionality that the apps provide (such as being able to upload scanned files into cloud-based storage such as Google Drive).
  1. Use the app to take pictures of each individual page of your assignment.  Ensure that you are not creating multiple files.  Watch the instructional video links for the device you are using.
  2. Save the file to your device, access your course from a web browser, and then submit the file to the submission page.  Go to Step 3 only if you do not want to submit with the device your app is on.
  3. If you do not want to use your device or phone to submit, email the file to yourself.  Then, using a computer, access your email to retrieve the scanned file.
  4. Submit the file into the course submission page.

Access the user manual for the scanner you are using.

Some scanners allow you to change the settings to include
  • output files that are PDF file extensions
  • multiple-page scans

Newer scanners, printers that scan, and photocopiers often are set to scan pages individually to PDF.  If your scanner can scan only individual pages, use one of the following programs on the Multiple PDF into a Single Document Tab.

 

The Adobe Pro program is a paid program; the PDF exchange view is a free program.


Option 1: PDF Exchange Viewer


  1. Download a free version of PDF Exchange Viewer. 
  2. Open Exchange Viewer, and open the first scanned page of the document.  (Double click, and then choose the first scanned page.)
  3. Go to the “Document” menu and select “Insert Pages”.
  4. Select “Source” as “From File”, then choose the next scanned page to combine.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Repeat this step for each page.
  7. Save the file using the correct filename for your course, such as Drew, Nancy 1.1 Math10C.
  8. Upload the single PDF file to the submission page for marking.

Option 2: Adobe Acrobat Pro

Check the programs on your computer because you may have this program already as part of another software package.

  1. Purchase and install Adobe Acrobat Pro. 
  2.  Open Adobe Acrobat Pro.
  3. Under “Getting Started”, choose “Combine Files into PDF”.
  4. Open the folder where the files are saved.
  5.  Drag the files into the “Combine Files” box.
  6. Arrange the files in order in the file box (drag into place).
  7. Click “Combine Files”.
  8. Save the file using the correct filename for your course, such as  Drew, Nancy 1.1 Math10C.
  9. Upload the single PDF file to the submission page for marking.

 

After you have created your pdf files for your assignment and it is stored on your computer, click the "Add Submission" button on the assignment submission page: 
 

You can drag and drop your assignment file into the box where indicated or you can select the paper with a plus sign icon to browse your computer files.


If you chose the paper with the plus sign, you need to click on the "Choose File" button on the next screen to access your files. You can also change the name of your file here. Click on "Upload this file".
