Email results to instructor
"Email results" opens a new tab with a Gmail message already addressed to erc.academianic@gmail.com and filled in — you'll just need to hit send (you may need to be signed into Gmail in that browser). If you use a different email provider, use "Download" instead and attach that file to an email yourself.
