Using Mail to Send a File
To send a file to your instructor or to another student, you will attach the file to a mail message. Start by accessing your mail. This is located on the Course Tools menu on the left hand side of the course Homepage or at the top of your course Homepage.
Open your mail and click on Create Message located to the right of the folder list, near the top of the screen.
Before you attach a file, simply compose your message as you normally would. Then click on Add Attachments located at the bottom left hand side of the Create Message window.
When you click on Add Attachments the Get Files window will open. The Get Files is used to locate your file. Your file is probably stored on your computer, so you would click on My Computer.
Once you have clicked on My Computer a window will open called Upload files from your Computer. Click on Browse...
When you have clicked on Browse... the Choose File dialogue box will open. Locate your file on the appropriate drive where you have saved it.
Once you have located the document, click on the file, then click on Open.
Once you have clicked on Open, you will be brought back to the Get Files window. Click on OK located at the bottom left hand side of the window.
After you have clicked on OK, you will be brought back to your mail message. Your file will now be attached. You can now click on Send located at the bottom left hand side of the window. Your mail message and file will now be sent.
