How to Upload an Assignment in UCompass Educator
Most of the assignments include sending finished drawings to the teacher for review, grading, and credit. The simplest way to accomplish this is to "upload" the file using the Assignment link in the lesson.
When you click on an assignment link, you receive a pop-up inviting you to log in with your username and password. This takes you to the exact right place to the upload the file, and identifies the assignment with you when you click the Submit button. Your teacher will always know who sent the file.
Before uploading a file, make sure that the file is properly named. For example, if your name is Joe Student and you are submitting your first drawing for Lesson 3, the file name would be L03joes01.jpg. Of course, you're not Joe Student, so use YOUR firstname and last initial instead of "joes." It is critical to include the file extension (.jpg). Without the extension, it won't work!!
