Embedded Files
The Sustained Investigation section has two tabs: Images and Written Evidence. You can start uploading images in the Images tab as soon as you have set up your access. We recommend that you start uploading as soon as you can, so both you and your teacher can monitor the development of your portfolio. You can always delete, add, or rearrange images later.
You’ll also indicate the height and width and the materials and processes for each work you upload in the Images tab.
Important things to remember:
Click Save Changes in the upper right before exiting or switching from one portfolio section to another. If Save Changes is enabled, you have unsaved changes on the page.
While your digital portfolio is in progress, your teacher and/or AP coordinator will be able to view it from their accounts, but they won't be able to make any changes to your work.
Here's a more detailed view of the Sustained Investigation Images tab:
- Click Upload File to upload an image to an empty space in the template.
- Enter the materials and processes below the thumbnail.
- Click the thumbnail for a full-sized view of the image.
- To replace an image of work, click Upload File and select the new image file for the work. To remove a work entirely from your Sustained Investigation section, including the materials and processes below the thumbnail, click the red minus sign above it.
- To rearrange your images, change the number in the top left corner of any image that you want to move to a new position in the template. (The number you enter represents where you want the image to be relocated within the template.) You’ll also need to adjust the rest of the numbers to complete the sequence.
Reminder: Click Save Changes to save your work before moving to another section of your portfolio or exiting the application.
When working on the Sustained Investigation section, edit or view your written evidence by clicking the Written Evidence tab.
To return to viewing your images in the Sustained Investigation section, click the Images tab. (Be sure to click Save Changes before returning to view your images.)
Your written evidence can have a maximum of 1,200 characters (including spaces).
