Microsoft Office Lens

Microsoft Office Lens is an app for your phone which allows you do scan documents using the camera, ready to upload.

It is particularly useful for capturing handwritten pages that you want to import. There is more information on how to use it on the MS Office support pages and in the documents below.

During assessments, answer questions handwritten on paper and scan using an application such as Microsoft Office Lens, or alternatively hand-write answers using a tablet and stylus. It is essential that your work is legible and is submitted as a single PDF file, with each page in the correct orientation. For instructions on how to set up Microsoft Office Lens and tips on how to produce good quality scans as a single PDF file, see below.

If you are submitting to a Turnitin Assignment combine this scan with a document containing at least 20 readable words - to create a single PDF document - as described here:  Combining multiple files into a single PDF
