Some courses include tasks which require you to upload your work in file form and then submit that for marking. This article will walk you through recognising these tasks and how to successfully upload and submit your files.
Recognising file upload tasks
Tasks that require you to upload your own work include the Add file button.
Tip: Things look a little different on mobile view, so if you're trying to upload from a mobile, please check out How to upload files for tasks using a mobile device.
Note: If you continue to have trouble uploading a file to a task, please contact your learning provider for assistance.
How to find your upload file task
You will come across tasks as you navigate your course content, but you can also find all of your tasks listed in My tasks.
Head to Tasks in the left menu.
Choose either Assessed or Non-assessed.
Use Go to page to see what you need to do for the task.
Tip: You can also use Show: Not completed to further refine your results as it's likely you haven't completed the task if you're here!
Note: If you're not able to find the task, please contact your learning provider for assistance.
How to choose a file to upload
Select Add file on the task to bring up the options for where you can upload your file.
You can choose from these options:
My device: Choose a file saved on your local device.
Cloud storage options: You can connect a chosen cloud storage - Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google drive - (you will be asked to sign in) and choose a file from there.
Take photo/record video: You can take a photo or record video directly from your device if you have enabled your webcam.
Once you have chosen your file, you'll see the options to:
Upload more files
Remove individual files with the X or Deselect all
Upload if you are happy with the file(s) you've chosen
Once you have uploaded your file(s) you'll see them listed on the task under Files to be submitted.
Tip: Once you upload a file, it’s automatically saved as a draft. If you’re not ready to submit yet, you can leave this page and come back later to add more files or make changes before submitting.
Use Submit when you're happy with the files you have uploaded.
