Files on The Access Hub

The 'Files' are a folder shared between you and your student(s), so you can upload any resources you wish to refer to or easily locate regularly.

The files you upload in this section do not automatically upload to the online classroom. If you are looking for guidance on uploading presentation files to the classroom, please see the guidance document titled 'Uploading a file to the whiteboard'.

To find the 'Files' section, press 'Files' on the navigation panel, on the left of your dashboard:

If you have never uploaded a file before, you will see this page when you open 'Files'

If you only have one student or one group, you will not need to select your student/group as you only have one possibility to share with.

If you have more than one student, or group, you will need to click the area highlighted below to open:

Clicking on this will open a drop-down menu where you can select to see 'All groups' or individual groups/student pairings.

Select the group/student you intend to share the file with.

To upload a file, click 'Add entry'. If you have not uploaded files before, this will be in the middle of the screen. If you have uploaded files before, this will be in the bottom right corner of the screen:

You'll then see the 'New entry' page.

You must input a title. If you wish to share a web link, add the URL and text to describe the link. If you wish to share a local file (a file that has been downloaded to your device), you can either drag and drop files to the box as stated, or you can click the highlighted file picker button to upload a file:

If you click the file picker button, the 'File picker' window will open. Select 'Upload a file' and 'Choose file' to add an attachment from your device.

Add a title to 'Save as' and you can change the 'Author' if you wish. Use the dropdown for 'Choose licence' if necessary - click the '?' next to 'Choose licence' if you need further information regarding this.

Click 'Upload this file'.

You will be redirected back to 'New entry'.

Once you are ready, click 'Save' to complete the upload.

There is also an option to 'Save and add another'.

Please be aware that depending on your device's screen size, the yellow help finder may overlap with these buttons.

Saving your upload will return you to this page, where you will see all of your files listed:

You can navigate between your pairings or groups by pressing the area highlighted by a red arrow.

You can also filter or sort your entries by date, or by using the search bar.
