Before you submit for a micro-credential, ask yourself if you have done all of the following:
- General
- Create a folder for each micro-credential you complete. This way you have one place to put all of your evidence.
- Remove all personal information about yourself and others (e.g. if you are an educator, you might have personal information about your students in the uploaded artifact).
- Read the rubric carefully. It is helpful to copy the rubric parts into a document and type your answers below.
- Have a colleague or coach look over your submission. It helps to have an extra pair of eyes on your submission materials so you feel confident about submitting.
- File questions
- Use universal document types, i.e. PDF, Word, PowerPoint.
- Change all settings on all shared documents, websites, and surveys to “anyone with the link.”
- If you have multiple files as part of your submission, clearly name each file, e.g. “Teacher Reflection” or “Part 2 Evidence.”
- Unless prompted for a longer video, the length of video submissions should be around 2-3 minutes.
- Minimize attachments, by pasting your images into a document and including all parts in one document.
- Text questions
- Be sure your answers address the prompt completely.
- Try to not go over the word count on questions, but answer the questions completely.
