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)

3. Upload the files to the OneDrive folder.

Congratulations, you are done!

XPUB-specific

XPUB has wiki-first archive strategy. This means that we encourage students to prioritize preparing presentations and documents using the wiki, including uploading supporting files where possible. You can then simply print pages to PDF and place these PDFs into the archive. If you prefer not to use the wiki or have files that do not work with the wiki, follow the protocol described here (ie place the files into the OneDrive as described here).

Special Issues

There is a dedicated folder for each Special Issue, that contains:

sufficient samples and documentation of the work (following the medium requirements in the table above)
Sufficient in this context means: enough relevant material so that someone not familiar with the project can get a faithful idea of what it was, how it operated (if relevant), and how it was presented.
one PDF per student, containing:
- one text to be written collectively to describe the special issue (min 100 words, max 150 words)
- and another text to be written individually to describe their own input/work (min 100 words, max 150 words)
