How does the digital dropbox work?
The digital dropbox is basically a special e-mail folder that your instructor enabled in Blackboard to receive course related materials (assignments, papers, etc.) from students in a particular course. You’ll usually find the digital dropbox in the student tools area in your course. Create a file with whatever word processor your have on your computer (for example, Microsoft Word). Make sure you include your name somewhere on the document. Save the file using a name without symbols. Your instructor will be unable to open a file named with symbols from the digital dropbox, for example “Assignment #1 Williams” cannot be opened. Save the file in Rich Text Format to your hard drive or disk. • Go into your Blackboard course and locate the Digital Dropbox • Click on “Send Item”. Give it a title that will help the instructor identify the file, for example “Assignment 1 Williams”.
