TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS ON E-PORTFOLIO UPLOADS

Term 1 2009-10

1. Space Allocation:
The space allocated to each student’s e-portfolio is 100MB. Please make sure that the total size of all the files uploaded onto the e-portfolio does not exceed this limit.

2. Text File Uploads:
All text documents can be saved in the .doc/.docx format using Microsoft Word 97-2003 or Microsoft Office 2007.

3. Online Material Uploads:
All online material such as quizzes, diagnostic tests, etc. should be preferably copied and pasted onto Word documents and saved in .doc/.docx formats. Alternatively, they can be saved in .htm or .html format for uploads onto the e-portfolio. Please ensure that the files are saved for proper viewing.

4. Multimedia File Uploads:

1. Audio files should be preferably saved in .mp3 format. File size (speaking task) should not exceed 4MB (approximately 3 minutes).
2. Video files should be preferably saved in .wmv formats. File size (discussion group task) should not exceed 10MB (approximately 10 minutes). Since video files take up a lot of space, it would be preferable to upload the video on www.youtube.com and provide a link to that file on the e-portfolio. This will help encounter the crisis for space allocated.

Any problem with uploads, contact Kevin Law at lang3rd@ln.edu.hk or the e-folio manager at efolio@ln.edu.hk
