How to upload your scanned document to Moodle Assignment (STEP 7)

1. Go to your App Store (or equivalent) and download the OneDrive app. Log in using your University login (email address) and password.
2. Open the App and locate the little 'Camera' button at the bottom of the App:

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

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):

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:

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:

7. Submit your PDF to Moodle Assignment following these instructions.
