The Moderator's Toolkit

Version 1.1

All our moderators have a pre-defined software toolkit installed on their computers.  Students must ensure that the contents of their eportfolio can be read by software in the toolkit.  Moderators will not be able to access content that requires the use of any other application.

Please note that DiDA eportfolios should be designed to be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

Moderators have been instructed not to open any *.exe applications they may encounter whilst viewing an eportfolio, since these can potentially damage their computer.
