These can, in some software, be embedded as hyperlinks or as attached documents. Ensure you do include this. If you are unable to include this within your mindmap, ensure that you include a reference list with your submission Submitting your Mind Map When submitting your mind map, please save as a pdf prior to submission. This will ensure that the document can be read by others who do not have the same software as you, and prevents the pixilation that can occur as a result of enlarging a jpeg. When submitting, attach the file to the assignment drop box within FLO. Late submissions will not be accepted.
