The "Student Publications" tool is a very simple one. It allows your students to upload any document in the course area.

Depending on your course scenario, you have to decide if you want all your students to see all available documents (if, for instance you want to ask your students to give their opinion on each other's papers) or if you will be the only one to see the documents (if, for instance, you ask the same question to everybody and want to avoid cheating).

To create a document

• Select "Create a document".
• Give it a name and a title.
• Type your text. Use the buttons of the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to structure information.
• Validate by clicking "OK".

To upload a document from another source (except files outside the portal)

• Select the link "Upload a document".
• Select the upload file on your computer using the "Browse" button on the right of your screen.
• Give a title for the document.
• The author (the person that uploads the document) is given by the system.
• Give a file description.
• Validate by clicking "OK".
