The D2L Dropbox Folder is an assignment submission tool where students can upload completed work such as documents, graphic, audio and video files. A separate Dropbox Folder is required for each assessment item submission. Linking a Dropbox Folder to a Grade item allows scores and feedback to be transferred to the Gradebook, making it easy to keep track of student progress and other course assessment items.
