TaskStream Instructions 2012-2013

Recall that students who entered Linfield Fall 2010 or later must upload exemplars and supporting work to satisfy the requirements for any course taken at Linfield for which they wish to earn LC credit. In addition, any student entering Linfield Fall 2011 or later must submit exemplars and supporting work for any transfer course for which they wish to earn LC credit. Note that students need only go through this process if they only wish to apply that course to their Linfield Curriculum requirements. The system that we are now using is called TaskStream. This system is much more user-friendly than Blackboard for the purposes of uploading work. Detailed instructions are provided below, but it is important to note that the system itself is relatively self-explanatory.

How to upload to TaskStream:

1. Go to www.linfield.edu/taskstream.
2. Enter your Catnet ID and password. This will take you to the TaskStream website.
3. Select "Linfield Curriculum."
4. Select the LC for which you are submitting exemplars from the menu on the left side of the screen.
5. Click on "Exemplar(s) and Supporting Work."
6. Click on the type of attachment you will be uploading at the bottom of the window. Most of the time this will simply be "Attachments" but it may be "Text & Image," "Slideshow," "Videos," or "Links." Note: Each file attachment is limited to 50 MBs. Videos can be up to 100 MBs. For slideshows, each slide must be limited to 2 MBs. Finally, each student is limited to a maximum of 2 GBs for all LCs in total.
7. Follow the instructions to upload each of your documents (exemplars).
8. When you have uploaded each of your documents, click "Save and Return."
