D2L Basics

To turn in an assignment:

1. Click into that class page.
2. Select "Course Activities"
3. On the dropdown menu, select [1] "Assignment."

2. Select Your Assignment

At the next page, select your assignment. For this example, we will select [1] "Test 1."

3: Upload Screen

You will arrive now at the submission screen. Here, press [1] "add a file" and a popup will appear with more options.

Depending on the requirements of your professor, you may need to use the "Record Audio" or "Record Video" button, instead of "Add a File," though many professors prefer documents, videos and recordings generated outside of D2L. Consult your professor for their preference.

4: Upload Popup

At the "Add a File" pop-up, select the top option - [1] My Computer - and the popup will shift to a simple upload dialogue.

5: Upload Popup (cont.)

The "Add a File" popup should now display an [1] Upload button in the center. Press this button, and a standard file dialogue will appear.

NOTE: If you have open the folder that contains your file, you can simply drag and drop your file to this popup to begin the upload.

6: Upload Popup (cont.)

Either double-click the [1] file you wish to load , or click the file you want to load, then press the [2] Open button. The Windows Explorer dialogue will close, and you will be returned to a slightly-altered upload popup window.

If you're on a Mac or other type of device, of course, this process will look slightly different.

7: Upload Popup (cont.)

This popup will now have a slight change: the [1] document you uploaded will be displayed below the Upload button. Now, press the [2] Add button, and the popup will disappear, returning you to the submission page you started with. Almost done!

8: One Last Check...

You're almost there!

Check to make sure everything is correct. To submit your file, press the [1] Submit button. The page will then change to a confirmation screen. You probably won't need to any comments, but this can be a helpful to spot to explain or warn for anything that you think you need to call your professor's attention to.

NOTE: Do not hit "Submit" until you are sure you are ready to submit the document. Once you hit this button, the file will transmit, and your professor may allow one submission per assignment.

9: Upload Complete

Once you reach this page, the process is complete! You can hit the [1] Done button to return to the Assignment Folders page, or click on any other button on the page to exit this screen.

Congratulations!
