Link Submission Libraries: JT Learn Feature Highlight

Online assignment submission on JT Learn has expanded to include Link Submission Libraries in addition to the Document Library for Student Work.  So, what is the difference? Documents and other files can be uploaded to a document submission library.  But when an assignment is stored in an online location, students need to provide teachers with a URL link. Link Submission Libraries make it easy to do this. So, they serve the same basic purpose, but a student would copy/paste a link instead of uploading a document.  

Creating a Link Submission Library is as easy as creating a Document Library for Student Work.  By using Feature Builder, the correct permissions are granted and teacher selected options are set.  This turns the set up process into just a couple minutes of work. 

One example of where students might be saving their work online is on their OneDrive. Students can use the Share feature in OneDrive to create a link with an option for two permission levels: 'to share' or 'to view'Students might use the ‘to edit’ permission level for documents, so teachers can add feedback on draft or final papers.  Whereas, links to videos might be created with the ‘to view’ permission level.   

Watch this screen-cast to see how to use the Share feature to create, copy and paste a link for a file saved in OneDrive.
