How to Add a File in Pipeline

Uploading files to your Pipeline website gives you the ability to add content directly to your course homepage.  A file can be in different formats (for example a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, a PowerPoint presentation, etc.) however only files that are in .html or .pdf format are viewable on the web. All other files must be saved and viewed in the program they were created in.
Note: Files cannot be larger than 1 mg.

Pedagogical application: faculty can use this function to provide immediate and constant access for students to course syllabi, handouts, assignments and presentations. Because students can also upload files to the course space, faculty can also use this function to collect homework, assignments or portfolio pieces. Different folders can be created to store individual student files as well as general purpose files.
