Course Files - How to Add a File to Your Course

Students are able to add, or upload, a file to their courses in Pipeline. 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. Files cannot be larger than 1 mg.  Files will be available within the course only after approval from your instructor.

To use Course Tools, you must choose the My Courses tab in your Pipeline account and then click on the link to the course you wish to work in. Each course has its own set of Course Tools.
