The document provides instructions for using the Dropbox tool in Falcon Online. It explains that the Dropbox allows learners to upload and submit assignments by dragging and dropping files into folders, and instructors can view and grade submissions. It outlines the steps learners should take to submit assignments, including adding files, submitting, receiving a confirmation email, and checking for instructor feedback and grades. The Dropbox provides a paperless way for learners to turn in assignments and instructors to review and assess work.

1. The DROPBOX
in Falcon Online

2. Learners use the Dropbox tool to upload and submit homework
assignments to dropbox folders in Falcon Online, (eliminating the need to
mail, fax, or email their work to instructors).
Instructors use the Dropbox tool to see users’ submission times,
download dropbox folders to their computer, view submissions on the
View Feedback page, (sometimes) associate dropbox folders to rubrics
and competencies, and return submissions with grades and feedback.

possible to account for any technical issues or questions.
