Moderators' toolkit

The GCSE Moderator’s Toolkit lists the file formats that are accepted for the GCSE qualification, unit 4. Students must ensure that their eportfolio only includes work in the listed file formats. Moderators will not be able to access content that requires the use of any other application.

Care should be taken when selecting software programs to ensure that they can output one of these file formats.

Microsoft Publisher is not part of the Moderator’s Toolkit for GCSE. Work produced in MS Publisher (.pub) should be converted to an accepted format before submission.
Moderators will have java runtime environment installed.
