Send work files

Two methods are available for sending pre-prepared work files to Student machines:

  • Quick Send: is useful for one-off operations where you want to send work to all connected Students or a defined group of Students.

  • Advanced Send: enables you to store the properties of an operation that will be performed regularly.

To send work using quick send

  1. Choose {File}{Send/Collect Work - Quick Send} from the Tutor Console drop-down menu.

    Or

    Click the Send/Collect Work icon on the Tutor toolbar and choose Quick Send.

  2. The Quick Send dialog will appear.

  3. List the file(s) to send to the Students. Files should include a full path and optionally a wildcard specification. You can include multiple specifications by separating them with ';'.

    Or

    Click on the Browse button to locate the file(s).

  4. Specify the folder at the Student machine to copy the files to. A new folder will be created if necessary.

  5. Click Send.

  6. The result of the operation will be displayed for you to check that the work has been sent successfully.
