=PREPARING MATERIALS FOR FINAL MODERATION AND EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT= Preparing Individual Student Portfolios Schools submit school assessment and external assessment materials together as a portfolio for each student in the assessment group. The SACE Board provides schools with a portfolio envelope for each student. The portfolio consists of Assessment Type 1: Folio and Assessment Type 2: Research Outcome, submitted for final moderation, and Assessment Type 3: Evaluation, submitted for external assessment. Each assessment type should be clearly identified within the portfolio, according to the guidelines below. The portfolio submitted to the SACE Board for each student for final moderation and external assessment should consist of the following materials: · Proposal · Research development
 * **Assessment Type** || **Materials Submitted** ||
 * Folio (40%)

· Discussion || A maximum of ten A4 pages (written) //or// a maximum of 10 minutes, or the equivalent in multimodal form. The teacher and student select evidence of the research development. The evidence selected may include material from the proposal.

Digitally recorded evidence or written notes, or a combination of these, to a maximum of 10 minutes of continuous recording or two A4 pages in printed copy, or equivalent. Notes may be made before, during, and/or after one or two formal discussions. || Both of the following must be submitted for Research Project A:  · a 150- to 200-word written summary · an assessment of a maximum of 1500 words if written or a maximum of 10 minutes if oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form. //Research Project B// Both of the following must be submitted for Research Project B:  · a 150- to 200-word written summary · a written assessment of a maximum of 1500 words. ||
 * Research Outcome (30%) || A maximum of 1500 words if written or a maximum of 10 minutes if oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form (see page 8 for details). ||

__Submission of Electronic Files__ Formats for Submission of Electronic Files //Image format//: An image file in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or GIF format //Video format//: A digital video file in MOV, AVI, WMV, or MP4 format //Audio format//: A digital audio file in MP3 or WAV format

__Identifying the CD-R or DVD - /+R__ The CD-R or DVD - /+R should be identified with the: · school number · subject: ‘Research Project A’ or ‘Research Project B’ · assessment details · SACE registration number and any other numerals used to identify the student in the recording. This information must be clearly indicated on the CD-R or DVD - /+R with a title in the menu or a title slide at the beginning of the CD-R or DVD - /+R. Only SACE registration numbers or other numerals should be used to identify students. //Example// School Number: 0XXX Subject: Research Project A  Assessment Details: AT1, Discussion SACE Registration Number: 123456X ||
