The file is displayed in the list awaiting the Principal s endorsement as below. Submit Student Work 29 30 Submission of Student work through Online Services Marked work of 6 students, chosen by the HKEAA, is to be submitted. Only those pieces of work with marks submitted are required. The work for each student should be zipped to one single file if the work contains more than one file. Please note that the Student Work file for each student should be less than 10Mb. Please note that if the work for a student contains only one file, there is no need to perform the zipping procedure. The system can accept files of any common extensions. 31 Student Work File name convention: [Subject Abbreviation] [(6-digit Student Document Number)].[File extension] e.g. PHYS(123456).zip PHYS(362880).pdf CSPHY(246800).doc The Student Document Number is shown in the Mark Summary Sheet. In fact, it comes from the beginning 6 digits of the identity document of a student. e.g. HKID No. = K362880(1), the document number is then 362880. Then upload the Student Work through the Online Services. The system can only store 6 Student Work files. Procedure similar to uploading Mark Data File. 32
