Phillip never revised the final copy of his research paper. He just put in the graded copy, with no revisions. He got a "B" on the essay, so he did not bother. Will this decision affect his grade for the ePortfolio?
Yes. One important aspect of the ePortfolio will be your revision of the final, graded copy of the research paper.
What should be on my Home Page?
This semester, on your Home Page, you should have shared the link to your Introductory Presentation. You made this at the very beginning of the semester.
Do my images have to have alternative text (alt-text) descriptions?
Yes. This is an important requirement. I will check to see if you have inserted them. Alt-text is different from a caption. Please look at my directions.

Do my two virtual presentations have to have closed captioning?
Yes. This is an important requirement.
