Comments on work flow for uploading files to iPad from Bbd Gradebook
Right …. this is what I did, and it took less than 5 minutes to upload over 50 scripts (word docs)
Step 1: Getting the files out of Blackboard
Access the course gradebook, select the drop down menu for the column you want, select download file [a new screen opens], select ungraded [top right link], click on submit, and download the zip file to the desktop
Step 2: Uploading to Dropbox from computer
Access dropbox account, create a folder with appropriate name [module id within a folder teaching], upload the zip file to this folder, once uploaded double click on the zip file and it will unpack into your dropbox space (creating a new sub folder), once finished in the folder and ensure you have the files, then delete the zip file from dropbox and your desktop
Step 3: prep for marking
in your dropbox create a folder where you will store the annotated versions)
Step 4: annotate the file in iAnnotate
on your iPad open dropbox, find the file to annotate and open it in iAnnotate, annotate the file, and save it back to dropbox [click on open in ... select Flattened ... dropbox .... select the folder]
Step 5: attach feedback file to person in gradebook
