You do not have to submit through ManageBac+. Files can also be uploaded to IB eCoursework from Google Drive or your computer. ManageBac+ helps you collect the work, set internal deadlines and generate pre-filled IB forms.
1. Collect and tag coursework in the portfolio
If your school uses ManageBac+ classes and year groups, task submissions and orals are already in each student's portfolio. Schools new to ManageBac+ can add work with Add Evidence of Learning.
Select Portfolio in the left menu and choose the student.
Find the file on the Timeline or Files tab and select IBeC on it.
-
Choose the Subject Group & Subject and the Component. The upload requirements show the file type, maximum size and number of files. Match each file to an upload requirement, then select Save Changes.
Handwritten work can be scanned and uploaded to the portfolio with the ManageBac+ mobile app, which converts the scans to PDF.
2. Generate IB forms and review
Open the eCoursework (Staff only) tab of the student's portfolio. Tagged files are listed by subject and component. Select Generate IB Forms to create the IB forms that ManageBac+ can pre-fill from classes and year groups, then review everything before upload.
For the forms available and where each one is generated, see Exporting IB Forms from ManageBac+ Year Groups, Classes & Portfolios.
3. Upload to IB eCoursework
In the student's portfolio, open the Details panel and select IB eCoursework, or go to upload.ibis.ibo.org, and sign in.
Place the IB eCoursework and ManageBac+ windows side by side.
Drag files from the student's portfolio into the File Storage area in IB eCoursework. You can also drag files from your computer or Google Drive.
-
In IB eCoursework, select the student and drag each file from File Storage to the right subject and component.
For the full steps, see Uploading to IB eCoursework from ManageBac+.
4. Track submission status
eCoursework Dashboard
Go to Insights > eCoursework Dashboard and choose the year, such as DP 2. Each student has a row with an icon for every subject group, TOK, EE and CAS: Awaiting Task creation, Pending, Submitted or Overdue. Filter by Homeroom Advisor or search for a student.
Portfolio roster
Open the year's Portfolio roster. The IBeC Submission Status column shows each student's status, and the Details panel shows eCoursework Overall Completion. Select the refresh button to update it from IB eCoursework.
