Some courses require homework, lab reports, and other assignments to be submitted electronically. If you complete an assignment on paper, you will need to scan the documents to a single PDF file. It is important to make sure the scan of your work is clear and legible. Improperly formatted or illegible scans may not be accepted.

Mobile Apps
If you use a phone to take a picture of your work, use a scanning app and not just the camera. The Google Drive app (iOS and Android) has a built-in scanning tool as does the Notes app (iOS only). Most Most professors prefer that you combine multiple pages into a single PDF file. Double check the page size the app generates to make sure it is 8.5”x11”.
Adobe Scan is good option for iOS and Android. Swarthmore has a site license for Adobe, so signing in via your Swarthmore Google account provides access to the Premium version. If scanning standard size documents, resize your pages to 8.5”x11” before saving.

The iOS Notes app generally works well but for some users it creates huge page sizes (e.g. 24” x 36”) which are not viewable when uploaded to a Moodle assignment. If using the Notes app, use caution and check the page size of the final PDF before submitting your assignment to avoid problems.
Format
When scanning, select the Color option. The Black and White setting does not show up well. Greyscale may work, but Color is better for clarity, especially for lined or graph paper. Select PDF as the output format. Make sure the page size of the output is standard letter size.
