Purpose
This article demonstrates how students can upload documents for other students immediately or after the instructor has checked the documents and given consent for them to be seen.
Procedure
Student Folder Setup
Student Folder Setup
With Edit Mode turned On, click the cross icon and Activity or resource. Select Student folder.
Name the folder and update the Submission and Publication settings, e.g., Required or Automatic approval.
Click Save and display at the bottom of the page.
Note:
If approval is set to Automatic, submitted files will be made public and the following message will display.
If the instructor must approve publication, this is done by clicking the File submissions tab in the activity and toggling to Approve.
If the student must approve publication, submitted files will remain private and a message similar to the one below will be displayed.
Setting Up Groups for the Student Folder
Setting Up Groups for the Student Folder
Setup student Groups in your course before choosing a group option for the Student folder. Please contact LMS Support if you don’t know how to do this.
Student folder allows for groups, which is particularly useful if students will be collaborating on projects. This setting is found under Common module settings as shown in the example below.
The two group modes to choose from are Separate groups and Visible groups. Let’s take a look at both.
Separate groups
When you choose Separate groups from the drop down, it limits the visibility of public files to only the students in that particular group. Other groups can’t see the files. Below is an example of how the setting appears to students.
Visible groups
When you choose Visible groups from the drop-down menu, it allows all students to have access to all public group files. The student clicks on the dropdown menu to choose the desired group file. Below is an example of what students see.
