Student Control of Dropbox Files
Reported by Sharon Russell from Pierce College
Description:
Can a student delete a Dropbox file?
Responses:
Earl Sallade and Edward Bachmann from Pierce College:
The Digital Dropbox does not work like a Web-based storage sytem or a computer hard drive. Each Assignment that uses the Dropbox has its own Dropbox link. When the student uses the link, they are presented with the directions and a dialog box for submitting their work. After reading the instructions,they identify/title their submission and then use either the Copy/Paste or File Attachment (it setup in the Settings' "Submission" tab) methods of inputing their work using the dialog box.
When attaching a file, in addition to uploading the file, they must also do a second step of clicking Submit to finish the submission process. We hear frequently of missing files that the student says they have submitted. Most likely, they clicked out of the screen using another navigation aid in Angel and therefore didn't completly submit the file. They could also click Submit and fail to do the initial upload of an attachment, resulting in an empty submission.
A successful submission is reported back to the student by the addition of a table below the submit button. It is all that is displayed if they leave the Dropbox screen and return later to check on their grade. That infomation shows a link allowing only review the submission (if allowed by the instructor via Settings using the "Reveiw" tab). They have no capability to delete the file and can only resubmit additional work if allowed in the Dropbox's Settings via the "Submission" tab.
Here is a link to a video tutorial from GRCC showing students how to use the Digital Dropbox.
