When marking assessments where students upload files to aXcelerate we currently have to download the files to view and mark, for example, some of our students are required to submit video/audio files as well as PDFs.

Instead of downloading each file it would be much more efficient if aXcelerate had an embedded file viewer so that assessors would not need to download attachments and could see the Assessment Criteria / Assessor Information at the same time they were viewing the submitted file(s).

  Hi James

  Thank you for your suggestion.

  This is something we have planned, and will be looking at implementing over the coming months.

  Kind Regards
  Mark

  Awesome, do you have a list of file formats that will likely be supported? If so I can start to limit what students upload.

  Hi James

  We don't have specifics yet, however I've been informed that we should be able to support most common audio/video/images.

  At this stage, there are no plans to support PDFs - I believe there are complexities involved for that filetype.

  Hopefully this helps!
