In this document you will find the instruction for scanning and submitting your handwritten work.

We have identified three different solutions for which you will need a smartphone.

The three solutions are summarised in the table below and the relevant instructions are in the Appendixes of this document.

Use the Microsoft Office App called Office on Android	Use the OneDrive integrated app	Use your own preferred device or app
See APPENDIX 1	See APPENDIX 2	Use a device or scanning app of your choice. Upload your scanned work as PDF in Moodle as per the instructions at this LINK NOTE: if you select this option, the University will not be able to provide support for third party technologies

It is recommended that you test your equipment in advance by running a mock test.

APPENDIX 1

Microsoft Office App on iOS, called Office on Android

For scanning documents and uploading them to OneDrive (STEPS 1-5) and then to Moodle Assignment (STEP 6)

STEP 1: Download the app from your app store and if prompted login in with your university credentials.

STEP 2: Open the app and select the + sign to start scanning. Then select Lens

STEP 3: Align the orange square with the document and press the round button 

STEP 4: Add pages if needed, Edit if needed, Save as PDF, Done

STEP 5: Upload to your OneDrive

APPENDIX 2

For scanning documents, creating PDFs using the OneDrive app (STEP 1-6) and uploading your scanned document to Moodle Assignment (STEP 7)

STEP 1: Go to your App Store (or equivalent) and download the OneDrive app. Log in using your University login (email address) and password.

STEP 2: Open the App and locate the little camera button at the bottom of the App.

STEP 3: This will open your camera (make sure you give the App access to your camera) and give your camera lens a little clean!

STEP 4: Make sure the mode at the bottom is on ‘Document’, the camera should show a blue outline (this may shift so get the camera into a straight position). This blue outline shows the camera detecting the outline of your document (to make this easier for the camera, try not to put the paper on a white background).

STEP 5: After you have taken the picture, you can move the border of the scan area so that you can trim it to size. Make the outline correspond with the boundaries of the paper.

STEP 6: Add pages if needed and press Done and Save to your OneDrive (NOTE: it automatically saves the image as PDF, which is the required format). On the Save as menu name your file as instructed by your tutor. Click the tick to save on your OneDrive.

STEP 7: Submit your PDF to Moodle Assignment following the instructions a this link: https://workspace.nottingham.ac.uk/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=225977446
