XPUB & LB Student Archives

Archiving is a formal requirement for your assessments.

This means saving your work in a standalone and archivable mode, independent from the wiki or any other medium.

Archiving is an XPUB & LB curriculum requirement.

Before each assessment, you archive the work you produced during the previous two trimesters.

As such, there are 3 archiving moments during your master studies:

after trimester 1 + 2 (March-April of year 1)
after trimester 3 + 4 (December of year 2)
after trimester 5 + 6 (June of year 2, graduation)

Archiving needs to be done 4 days before your assessment.

Archive your work

You archive the work you made during the previous two trimesters. This includes collective work, individual work, finished work and sketches or prototypes.

To start archiving:

1. Choose a medium that you want to use to archive your work.

NOTE: The way you archive your work is based on the medium that you use to document it. The medium you choose to document your work does not have to be the same medium of the work. Say you do a performance, in order to document it you can choose to use photographs or video (2D), an audio recording of the event, or a text.

2. Follow the instructions in the table below, it lists the requirements and limits of the documentation you need to deliver, in any of the following media.

Medium	Requirements
2D	- At least 1 image - Format: jpg
3D	- What best documents the work
Audio	- Format: mp3
Code	- Samples from the code output - a pdf from the wikipage where you documented that work - in screenshots (see 2D requirements) - video (see Video requirements)
Text	- PDF export of a document or wiki page (max 2 PDFs) - Note: You cannot upload .txt .rtg .doc .odt files, ONLY PDF! - Size: <100MB
Video	- 8 screenshots - Format: jpg (you can use the app skreenics for generating your screenshots) - Full-length export of the video - Encoder: h264 (for 1080 -> target bitrate: 10 MBps, Maximum bitrate: 20 MBps)
