Culture Documents
Your submission will also need to include other work produced as part of the course as well as your learning
log. It is important to present these in a way that makes it easy for tutors to access and understand your work.
You should use the structure of the course projects, exercises and assignments as a template to structure your
submission.
The professionalism of your presentation is important and you will lose marks for poor presentation. You may
consult your tutor if you feel unsure about what to include in your submission based on your strengths and
weaknesses or how you go about presenting your work.
Digital Submissions
At Levels one and two (but not three), your entire submission, if you wish, and if it is appropriate for your
work, may be digital. If you intend to submit in this way, please submit a memory stick with the contents on
it, or refer OCA to the url.
Please note that all written work (apart from tutor reports, learning logs and blogs) submitted for assessment
MUST be submitted digitally as well as printed out and submitted on paper along with the rest of your
submission. Digital work should be submitted to assessment@oca-uk.com, clearly stating your name, student
number, the course name and what the digital work attached is (eg critical review, essay etc) This is a
requirement and is to enable OCA to carry out plagiarism checks on work, and a requirement of our validation
with the University for the Creative Arts.
If you are submitting an entirely digital portfolio on CD or a USB stick, or entirely via a blog, only a sustained
piece of writing (such as an essay or critical review) needs to be sent to assessment@oca-uk.com as well as
printed out and submitted for assessment in hard copy. If you are submitting work on a USB stick or a CD
please ensure you check it thoroughly for viruses before you send it in.
Students cannot present the same piece of work for marks on two different units. However, if a students is
studying two units at the same time and doing general sketchbook work for example, to support both units,
this person can submit the sketchbooks for both units as evidence of background research.
