The steps to perform prior to submitting a project are:
You will find it easier to locate and select files on your computer if your Windows "Folder Options" view properties are set so that the software does not hide the extensions such as ".txt" at the ends of filenames. Instructions for unhiding extensions can be found at the bottom of the web page about Windows® File Association.
Projects that require the submission of more than one file or folder will typically require making a "compressed (zipped) folder" (which is actually a single file that acts like a folder). You can copy the project files or folders into it so that there is only one file to submit. For help creating a compressed (zipped) folder, read the web page at: http://howto/codex.html
Prepare the project file (or files and folders depending on the project) to be submitted and carefully note the drive letter of the storage device used to save them. Be aware that the drive letter assigned to USB memory sticks by Windows can be different on different computers and can even change on a single computer if the device is removed and reinserted. So be careful to note the path (drive letter and folder names) to reach your saved work. For help using a USB memory stick, read the web page at: http://howto/usbstick.html
The steps to perform to submit a project using an Angel Drop Box are:
Open the shell for your course by selecting its link from the course list.
Click on the "Lessons" tab at the top of the screen.
If you are a student in COP 2000, also locate and open the folder named HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS.
Locate and click on the title of your project (or assignment). This will open an Angel drop box to submit it (along with a message to your instructor).
In the "Title" textbox, type an identifying message such as "First submission" and then include any comments that you want to in the "Message" box.
Press the "Attachment" button. A dialog box should appear with the heading "Attachments".
Press the "Browse..." button. A second dialog box should appear, entitled "Choose file".
Use the navigation controls (buttons and drop-lists) in the "Choose file" dialog box to navigate to the storage location of your work as noted in preliminary step C above.
Select the file that you want to attach. Note: You cannot attach ordinary folders. To attach folders or folder hierarchies, copy them into a "compressed zipped folder" (file) as described in step B above.
After selecting the file(s) or compressed zipped folder(s) you want to send, click on the "Open" button. The second dialog box should collapse revealing the first one behind it, with the path to the select files listed in the "Upload a File" text box.
Now click on the button labeled "Upload File" and wait as your files are sent to the Angel server. When the transfer is complete, you should see the selected file(s) listed in the "Uploaded Files" textbox.
To complete the attachment process, click on the "Finished" button. The first dialog box should also collapse, revealing your project drop box page.
Finally, click on the "Submit" button. You should see the words "Submission Successful".
Click the "OK" button. You will be returned to the drop box page for the current project. You can now logout or navigate away from it using Angel's screen controls.
