The most common problem students report is that their file exceeds 10 Mb.
Slides with recorded narration are a common culprit. Compressing the file is one option for reducing file size. An Internet search for compressing files by device and program (e.g., Powerpoint for Mac/Windows) should identify the specific steps necessary.
Although Eli Review supports uploads from cloud storage in Google Drive, OneDrive, and DropBox, sometimes uploading from these services produces an error. The easiest solution is to download the file from the cloud storage location to the local device. Then, in Eli Review, try uploading from the local device.
This tip applies only with the writing task is “Compose in Eli” and students submit links. The link must be viewable by reviewers. Writers need to verify that the link is set to “public” or “sharing” is enabled.
Often, peer reviewers discover a problem with a writer’s highly formatted text. Instructors or [email protected] can remove a writer’s submission. The removal is permanent, and it affects the work done and to be done in peer review group, so remove submissions carefully.
