drop box located at the bottom of the project page as follows:
• Process Work for Infographic:
Textual Outline: submit a Word or PDF document file.
Wireframe: submit an image file (JPEG, PNG etc.).
• Deliverable 1: Infographic, submit as an image (JPEG, PNG, etc. file); PDF. If your
file is over 1 MB, compress it OR post the URL in a document file if your infographic
is on a host site (such as by Visme).
• Deliverable 2: Screencast, submit the URL to your screencast in a document file
(you can use the same one you used for the infographic's URL).
To avoid a point penalty, verify your submission. Do not rely solely on bblearn’s
confirmation that your work submitted. You need to check that your work submitted
correctly. This means you need to go back to the drop box after submitting your work and
1) open your document files, and 2) check that the URL will work by cutting and pasting
what you submitted into a browser.
