Drop Box

Drop Box

A Drop Box is an online depository for students to submit document-based assignments, homework files, and projects. Students upload the documents from their computer to the Drop Box and receive email confirmation that they have done so. Faculty and TAs can then download the documents. Additional tools are available to submit by group, create timed Drop Boxes, and send reminders for missing work.
