Shareable files i.e. videos (including Sketchup exports), podcasts, screenshots can be uploaded via the form.
Sketchup - you should set up scenes for your exhibition in Sketchup, export to video and upload the video file. You are also welcome to share your Sketchup file and other components but these are not required and will not be shared with examiners. Scenes can be set up using either the web or desktop version of Sketchup. The video export can only be done using the desktop version, which is available on University managed computers or you can download a trial. If you have issues with the video export contact Beky (history.maenquiries@sheffield.ac.uk) and you can uploaded the Sketchup file as long as your scenes have been set up.
Other online projects i.e. a social media accounts / webpages - you can take screenshots or save PDF versions and upload these. To allow markers to see the 'live' site, you can also save the pages as HTML files and also upload these and/or if you can publish the site in a non-public way then you can include a link in the Google form.
Google sites - we will setup Google Site folders in a shared Drive that the History Team have access to. You should put your site and any associated files in the folder and include the link to the folder in the form. Your access to these folders will be removed after the deadline.
