File Upload Widget

I was looking on the Bookery for a way to have students upload their Scratch projects to me from within their class iBook. Didn’t find anything and I thought about using JotForm.

Using JotForm I created a file upload form. When the form was created I linked it to my Dropbox account. Then from the Embed Form Wizard I copied the iFrame embed information. Next step was to create a  Hype document and insert an HTML Widget. Adding the iframe code  added the upload form to the Hype document. Last step was to export the document as a HTML5 widget and drag and drop it onto the iBooks Author page. I am using my iBook on Macs so to add the file students just need to drag and drop the file onto the upload button. The class book is being edited as I created the screenshots and screencasts so some sentences are not quite complete!
