Assignments

Supporting documents

Keep the answer key and handouts next to the assignment while you grade.

Grading usually means keeping a second thing open: the answer key, the handout the question refers to, your own notes from last year. Supporting documents keep those files on the assignment, one click away instead of one folder-dig away.

Attaching a file

The supporting documents card sits on the assignment's overview. Open it and drag files in, or click to browse.

InteGrade tags each file by what it looks like (rubric, key, reference, handout) so a long list stays scannable. You can preview a file, download it, download everything at once, or remove one you no longer want.

Where these files actually live

Read this before you rely on it. Supporting documents are stored in your browser, on the machine you uploaded them from. That has consequences:

  • They are not visible from another computer, or from another browser on the same computer.
  • They are not backed up, and they are not shared with anyone else.
  • Clearing your browser's site data removes them.

They are a convenience for the machine you grade on, not a place to keep the only copy of anything. Keep the real copy where you normally keep it.
