Might need more investigation. Am not recommending purchasing, as FREE makes it easier on your school/department and allows more independence for your students. </div><div><br></div><div>There are other free photo editor apps which are available at the iStore which could do the trick in terms of the students being able to snap a pix, edit in the photo app, then upload. </div><div><br></div><div>This tricky file naming difficulty ought to be recognized, written up into steps and distributed to faculty so they can include the "how to" in their BB message to students regarding how to submit homework from an iDevice. I'm pretty sure the instructor did not anticipate this snarl.</div><div><br></div><div>There are any number of free apps for photo editing available for both iOS and androids. </div><div><br></div><div>Another possible solution is to use a scanning app instead of just snapping a photo with the iPad or iPhone camera. This captures the homework shot as a PDF rather than an IMG file which can then be named appropriately and uploaded.</div><div><br></div><div>I have found a number of scanning apps (all free) at the iStore and have successfully taken photoscans of documents, saved as <FILENAME.PDF>. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this is helpful.

Some of our students have little access to computers and/or internet unless it is via a mobile device. The instructor would like to allow students to upload images of their math work to Blackboard.
