Hand-In Folders
Hand-in folders can either be accessed through the Hand-in tool or they can
be created in any other folder. Pupils can hand in work in the form of
documents, presentations, other files or Fronter documents to the specified
folder individually or as a group. Teachers can access all the work in that
folder, assess it and comment on it. The marks and comments can be viewed
from the portfolio tool. Pupils can be reminded to hand in work using the
Notification tool.
To add the hand-in tool click on the Room tool.
Select customise tool package in the drop down list.
Choose New tool and let the page
load.
Tick Hand-in.
Click Save.
It is possible to change the position
of each tool in the list by highlighting it
and then clicking the green arrows to
move either up or down in this same
window.
Here the Hand-in folder has been moved higher in the list. Click on it and then
click Folder.
Enter the folder title and
description.
The default opening
times are from the
present time to one
month later with the
notification date set
between. All these can
be changed. It is also
possible to change other settings, if needed, then click Save.

Hand-In Folders
If pupils have the Notification tool on their Today page then they will be able to
click the link there to go directly to this folder when they are ready to hand in
work.
This can be done by clicking Upload file as you can to any other folder. They
will only be able to see their own work. Once the closing date has passed
pupils will not be able to upload further work or delete any previously
uploaded.
If work is available to
the teacher
electronically (e.g. on
a memory stick or on
the school network) it
is possible to hand in
work for a pupil by
using the ‘Hand in on
behalf of’ option.
To add a comment to each piece of work select
comment from the dropdown menu by the file
name.
In the window that opens add your comment.
You can also evaluate and grade the work before clicking Save.
The hand in folder now gives an overview of the work and this is also now
visible in the portfolio tool.
