It should be presented using an industrial usability report template and saved in PDF format and submitted on Brightspace by the deadline.

The prototype design must be uploaded to your InVISION workspace and it must be shared to the unit leader for assessment. There is no limitation on the number of screenshots created and uploaded but it is recommended that the screenshots are saved in PNG format.

The 10-minute long presentation must be recorded and uploaded onto a publicly available video sharing website (e.g., Microsoft Stream or YouTube) with a link provided in the report.
