Files such as the class syllabus, reading materials and essay prompts can be uploaded directly to iLearn course pages for students to review and download. Commonly uploaded file types are PDFs, PowerPoints, and Word documents. However, teachers may upload any file type to their course page. Note: There is a 100 MB per file limit.

Add a file using drag and drop

1. From the course page, in the upper right corner, select the Edit icon (⚙) and select Turn editing on.
2. Using your cursor, select the file you want to add and drag the file from your computer onto the iLearn  course page. Release the mouse button when you see the text "Add file(s) here".

Note: While dragging and dropping is easier, there may be cases where you need to use the file picker instead such as when using an incompatible browser or when adding files from a mobile device.

Add a file using the file picker

1. From the course page, in the upper right corner, select the Edit icon (⚙) and select Turn editing on.
2. In the week/section you want to add the file, select the +Add an activity button.
3. In the menu list, under Resources, select File and the Add button.
4. In the Name field, enter a name for the file. This will become the text for the link your students will select to access the file.
5. In the Select files field, select the Add... icon (white piece of paper with bent corner). Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the box with the blue arrow.
6. In the File picker column, select Upload a file.
7. Select the Choose file or Browse... button next to Attachment and locate the file on your computer.
