Further down the page, you will see images that can be uploaded – png, gif, jpg, jpeg – with a file size of less than 3MB. It is also possible to attach files of any type eg word doc, pdf, short video to the ePortfolio that provide further evidence of learning. The file size is limited to 10MB. With video we recommend uploading it to a service like “You tube” or “Vimeo” and then creating a link.
