Dropboxes:

Dropboxes in MyCourses is a tool that you would use if you want your students to submit something.  This could be a Word document, an Excel sheet, PowerPoint, etc.  With Dropboxes, the instructor is the only one that sees the submissions.  Each submission can be run through Turnitin to check for copying/cheating. You can also grade the submission right in MyCourses.  No need to print and mark up. You can do the markup right in the submission itself.  These can be used in all modalities.
