Uploading Files From 1000&2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000-Level Writing Intensive Courses to Your University Writing Portfolio

1. From the main page, select the “Portfolios” tab.

2. Next, select your University Writing Portfolio.

3. From the page that comes up next, select the appropriate course level: WI Course level 2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000.

4. Next, select the edit mode icon, located in the grey capsule menu at the bottom left of the

page.

5. After you select the edit mode icon, another menu will appear on the page’s far right. Select “Files.”

6. To add a document to your files, select the green plus symbol (+). A drop down list will appear-- select “Add File(s).”

7. Next, select “choose file” to import a saved document from your computer to your

University Writing Portfolio.

8. Select the document you would like to upload. Click “Choose” (Mac users) or “Ok” (PC users).

9. After selecting the document you wish to upload, you have the option to create a display

name for your document. This is helpful if you forgot to save your document with the course prefix and course number. BE SURE to save or change the display name of the document to be uploaded with the course prefix and the course number (such as ENGL 2400), so that your teacher can easily find the documents they are to review for their class. When finished, click “save file(s).” Always SAVE after uploading new content!

*Tip: You may upload two documents at a time. Simply repeat steps 7-9 after selecting the remaining “choose file.” 10. Click  the  “My  Files”  folder  under  the  Files  tab  in  the  column  to  the  right.      

11. Next, click and hold a specific file you would like to add. Drag the file over to the

appropriate section. When you see a green rectangle around the section you wish to add the file to, release the mouse button to drop the file into the section.

Tip: Some students may take more than one writing intensive course in the same level. For example, a student may take ENGL 2200 and then ENGL 2400 the following semester. When uploading files, add files in successive order (i.e. the major project for ENGL 2200 would go in “Course 1 Major Project”. The major project for ENGL 2400 would go in “Course 2 Major Project”. Also, naming your documents with the course prefix and course number, as pictured below, will help instructors figure out which documents are from their class and are ready to review.

Once step 11 is completed, the section should look like the image below, with the file listed just below the section.

12. When you have uploaded the files to the appropriate area of your course, click the save icon located in the grey icon bar. Always SAVE after uploading new content!
