If you are having trouble uploading the documents you want onto the Sherpa Classroom, the likelihood is the file type is unsupported. Here are a few tips on how to convert unsupported files into PDF:
Tip 1:
"Save as PDF file type directly through Microsoft"
Go about your business, as usual, creating your excellently constructed document in Microsoft Word or classy presentation through Microsoft Powerpoint.
Once it is complete and you are ready to convert it as a PDF, click on File in the top left corner of the screen. (Note: The screenshots below were taken from Microsoft Word but the process for Powerpoint is identical)
From here, continue as normal into the "Save As" section.
Once you have chosen where you wish to save the document on your PC it will bring you to the section in which you name the document.
Underneath the document name is a drop-down list of all the file types the document can be saved as. Scroll down to PDF, left-click, then Finish by clicking "Save" on the right-hand side near the bottom.
