The Digital Drop Box page enables Students to exchange files with the Instructor. Files are added to the Digital Drop Box from the Add File page. The Add File page requests information on the title, file location, and any comments regarding the file. A file is not automatically sent to the Instructor if it is placed in the Drop Box through the Add File option. Files must be sent through the Send File option.
Files that are added to the Drop Box but not sent will show the date and time posted. Once the file is sent to the Instructor it will show the date and time submitted.
Note: The date and time displayed in each instance is not the date and time on the user’s machine, rather, it is the date and time on the Blackboard Learning System server.
