Assignment Submission

http://www.cblt.soton.ac.uk/submit 

If you are not following a CBLT module you should not use this process.

You should only use this process if you are a student following a CBLT.

Your work should be submitted in web format (*.htm). You are required to submit all files relating to your work. Please note submitting a link to files hosted on a server elsewhere is not normally acceptable. You should submit a copy and retain at least two additional electronic copies as backups ideally stored on different systems.

You should consult the Advanced Programmes for details about late submission penalties.

Your work should present certain information at the top of your web format submission. An exemplar is available at: http://www.cblt.soton.ac.uk/submit/opening/

When your work is ready to submit there are two steps you must follow.

1. emailing your work

2. completing a submission form


1. emailing your work

You must formally submit your work as an attachment to soepgadm@soton.ac.uk and copy cbltwork@soton.ac.uk. There is a maximum limit of 1MB per assignment. Please consult your tutor if this poses a difficulty or restriction in your work. Your work should be emailed as an attachment according to the following template example:

To: soepgadm@soton.ac.uk
Cc:
cbltwork@soton.ac.uk; MyUniEmail@soton.ac.uk
Subject: Assignment Submitted by <your Family Name> <Your First Name>

When you send your work the **subject line must include** (no quotation marks): "ASSIGNMENT Submitted by" and then your familyname and firstname. For example:

Subject: Assignment Submitted by Simpson Homer

You are strongly advised to cc yourself in this e-mail - you are then able to check that the e-mail has been sent.

Naming files

The initial web file must be named index.htm

All file names should be eight characters or less and in lower case with no gaps. All file suffixes must be in lower case. Please endeavour to name files to indicate their nature/content. For example, pic01.gif may more appropriately be named lrnlab01.gif (i.e. lrnlab01 = learning laboratory picture 1)

An example minimal file submission would be:

index.htm

An example set of example files may be:

index.htm (the initial start file with Opening Information)
link.gif (an image required by the start file)
images (a folder with images, graphics etc.. required by other files)
seem.htm (a web file referred directly through a hyperlink in the start file)
bibliog.htm (a web file bibliography linked from the start file)

Compressed (Zipped) Format for attachments
If your work contains more than one file, we have a strong preference for you to make your attachment a single compressed (zipped) folder. This is easily achieved in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (see Start > Help and support and search for 'zipped compressed folder'). There are also several freeware and shareware zipping utilities. 7-Zip is part of the Core and Common software available on iSolutions workstations
.

Common errors include renaming of files and not adjusting hyperlink references; either using absolute web referencing or not or combining the two; not checking that hyperlinks function correctly; and forgetting to include all files.

Functionality Testing You are strongly encouraged to use your University web space to test the functionality of your assignment.

Normally each assignment and its supporting resources must not exceed 1.0 MB


2. completing a submission form

This process ensures that the receipt of an assignment is duly acknowledged and that the requirements of the School of Education are met.

If there are any difficulties or issues arising then please inform your module tutor and the Postgraduate Office
