Short answerStudents convert their project folder (ZIP) to a link and paste the link into the assignment. Teachers open it on any device, with no unzipping. Use a clear address like class-name-student and keep the original files as a backup.
For students
- Put the project in one folder with
index.htmlas the start page. - Zip it, or drag the folder straight onto the ZIP to link converter.
- Use a clear custom address:
web101-maria-project2. - Open the link on your phone to check it works away from your computer.
- Submit the link — and the ZIP too if your teacher asks for source files.
Mind the 24-hour window
Free links are online for 24 hours. Convert close to the deadline or right before a presentation, and tell your teacher when the link will expire. For a portfolio that should stay up, a Starter plan keeps three links online permanently.
For teachers
- Links open on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones — no unzip step and no “file blocked” warnings.
- Ask students to submit both the link (to see the result) and the ZIP (to read the code and grade it).
- For live critiques, collect links in a shared document and click through them on the projector. Our bulk URL to links tool turns a pasted list into a clickable index page.
Privacy for younger students
Avoid full names and photos on public pages; use first names or initials in the address, and add a password for class-only pages.
