Distance Learning Tip: You can easily extract pages from a pdf file. In this way, you can choose to send students some of the pages in a pdf file. i.e. assignment one, assignment two. You can rename your files also for easy reference. You can learn to do this in about 3 minutes time; just google "extract pages from a pdf file".
