When and how to edit / share documents on your ePortfolio (Classroom).

Assignment documents

If you are assigned a Task / Assignment document to work on via Classroom (ePortfolio) then you will be able to edit the attached / embedded document/s directly without making a copy. 

When you submit this/ these document/s for your tutor to mark / grade they will be automatically attached to the submission.

When submitted you lose editing rights as your tutor becomes the owner to grade it. Please don't ask to edit a submitted document, message your tutor to alert them that you have submitted by mistake and need to continue to edit your work.

You cannot submit / upload a document directly from the Shared Drives please see instructions and images below to Copy or Download it first.

When and how to edit / share documents on a Shared Course Drive. 

To Edit a document

By default all documents that are not embedded in your assignment are shared documents that you have read-only access to. For example the 'Letter of Consent', which is on a Shared drive so it can be made available to all. If you need to edit these documents for your work and or make notes etc. you need to either 'Make a copy' this will save a copy of the document to your own BDA google drive and , or 'Download' a version which will download a copy of the document to your device hard drive. Whichever option you choose you will have a version of that document that you can edit and the original shared version will remain untouched.

Please don't request access to edit a document follow the instructions above or below for submitted work / assignment documents

Share a document

If you want to share a document to your personal / work google account you will need to choose one of the options above as you cannot share directly from a shared drive.

If you have any issues managing your modules on coassemble please try these solutions first.

Use the Filter, sort and search on the module tabs, if you: 

1. Have too many modules showing then use the appropriate module tabs. 

   1. You can select specific course types using Folders. 

   2. Please select a folder to show only the modules that you currently need e.g. Guides or Level 5 or Level 7 etc.

2. Only want to see one module - try search e.g.  'module 1' will only show 'Module 1' 

3. Want to show only modules based on the progress status use one of the following: To Do | In Progress | Complete

4. Want to Sort your modules, please use the Sort drop down and select the appropriate sort option e.g. 'Recently viewed'.

5. Want to Star / Favourite modules, to identify the one that you are currently working on. To do this hover (touch) the module and when the overview opens click on the star icon.

6. Don't have any modules on your dashboard, check that you have not set the options to filter out all modules e.g. added a misspelt search such as tasks 1, using a plural when the module title is singular task 1.

Further information and instructions are available on the 'Welcome to eLearning Materials' (in Guides folder) in the 'Getting around - Dashboard' screen.
